Goodbye Summer

My summer garden has met its demise. I pulled up everything but the tomato plants and two gnawed on butternut squash plants. I left those in the cage and asked the neighbor to water them and help herself to whatever grew. While we were gone a storm took out the cage, leaving it a tangled mess of screening. The neighbor said she got some tomatoes off the plants though. The butternut squash plants look like they never recovered from their encounters with the deer.
