How Does My Garden Grow
>We live in a zone 5 growing area. It's important to know your zones if you want to grow a nice garden. 
Being in a zone 5 means we need to wait until May to plant. If you plant your garden any sooner you risk the chance of a freeze that will mean you have to start over with your garden.
The last few years my garden hasn't been planted until June which makes for a short growing season. But this year, because I left town at the end of May I made sure to get my garden in early. And now I am reaping the benefits!
Green and Yellow Zucchini
Crook Neck Squash
Spaghetti Squash
Eggplant
Cucumbers
The tomatoes should be ripening in a couple of weeks.
I can't wait for BLT's. YUM!
There's even a watermelon.

And hopefully, come fall,
there will be many pumpkins in the pumpkin patch.
Did you notice my secret to success?
I line my garden with black plastic before planting.
It helps to keep the plants warm and their roots moist.
It also cuts down significantly on weeds and garden critters.
