Zukes

I miss my zucchini this year. Last year we got a ton of zukes! This year I think the probablem was mainly we have no bees. There was a giant tree behind our back wall that was full of bees. We called it the bee tree but it blew over in a storm last winter and our HOA never replaced it so our bees have left us. Our zuke plants looked amazing up until about last month, they just only produced a couple fruit. So disappointing. They've since started looking a little sad but that could be because its been so stinkin hot here. Actually we had a rough gardening year all around. Nothing really produced well. Tomatoes stayed tiny, jalapenos and bell peppers never went anywhere. Beans died early. The onions and carrots are the only thing hanging in there that might produce. Oh well. Live and learn I suppose. Here is one haul from last years zucchini plants. These were all hiding so they got big. Excuse the gnarly hand haha I was trying to show my parents how big they were :D
