Let's see those '09 gardens

Our potting adventures didn't turn out well, except for the cherry tomatoes. Billions of the little buggers. The cucumber produced a mediocre amount of cucs, about 7, and then got powdery mildew. The squash also got it and died before anything produced.

The only successes we had were the string beans, basil, mint, and cherry peppers. The CP plant is on its way out though, I didn't realize it didn't have any drain holes and it filled up with water from a storm. Various flowers did well, namely the Celosia jumping up to over 3 feet tall. I was hoping for more color variety though, only the red seemed to make it. The hummingbirds love it though.
