And here's another picture for good measure:
If you look closely at the pictures, you can see plenty of green tomatoes, some of them fairly decent sized. However, it will be hard for them to ripen considering the plants themselves are completely brown and dead. There's even a cute little green pepper visible on the plant in the first picture, although it isn't too hard to spot since the rest of the plant is brown and wilted. And let's not talk about dry and brittle corn stalks....
There is some semblance of green in the second photo thanks to our broccoli plant--and even a few last florets of broccoli that might actually be edible. And hiding behind the broccoli plants are our carrots, which are remarkably green and full, so we might actually have some carrots for stews this fall. Provided we actually, you know, go out and pick them.
Here's to better luck next year (and, you know, actually getting some rain so we don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of money watering our garden. Speaking of which, our neighbors just installed sod. Which requires TONS of water to keep it from dying. I don't even want to think about what their water bills are going to be. Shudder).
