Incredibly dry season. My garlic (4 varieties, mostly a softneck) was harvestable, but nothing to write home about. I'll just leave the Jerusalem artichokes in the ground for next season.

The succulents on the bank, on the other hand, went totally nutzoid -- spreading at an incredible rate, long flower spikes, etc.

Also had more basil than we knew what to do with. (Figure of speech only -- we knew exactly what to do with it and there's plenty of pesto in the freezer and good food in the stomach.)

Just the right tomato and banana pepper harvest and a coupla volunteer squashes to boot.
