Southeastern Wisconsin had such a drought this year--and technically we are still in one. I had exactly ONE zucchini from my garden, and about two yellow squash!

I did get a few tomatoes, and a few dozen jalapeno peppers. My carrots were tiny, and so were the radishes. Strawberries only yielded a few berries. And this was the first time I ever had to water the rhubarb to keep it alive!

I did get some nice butternut squash which volunteered to grow out of my compost pile. Hope next year is easier.
