I didn't get any lettuce this year, and I finally figured out why: local critters have been eating it. Next year I'm putting out live traps. What ever is eating my dinner will become my dinner.

My peppers have also been disappointing. I have 16 seedlings out of 120+ seeds. I don't know why, but they're just not germinating. But at least the tomatoes are doing fine. I've thinned them down to about 25 plants.

The corn is just beginning to show, and I just transplanted the various squashes and the giant pumpkins.
