Let's see those '09 gardens

Herb garden, chives, oregano, thyme, basil, rosemary, and a few marigolds for good measure:

Cherokee Purple. I tried growing these years ago, didn't go well at all. Much better results this year, probably almost all thanks to the automatic watering timer.

Sun Gold, they're really little balls of candy on a vine. They grow like weeds, takes a lot of time pruning to keep them anywhere close to manageable, but sooo worth the trouble.

Cocozelle zucchini. I'm hoping this one will be the first I actually get to pick before the boogie man chews it up.

Rattlesnake beans. The plants on the right were nearly destroyed by japanese beetles while I was out of town for two weeks. For some reason or another, they never bothered the plants on the left.
