my not so fruitful garden

So, I had fully anticipated having a huge garden, providing me with lots and lots of vegetables and fruits. Well, it had other plans. My garden is growing, very slowly, but it is growing. But the caterpillars and my dogs evidently don't want to see it succeed in providing me with food. After applying organic plant food to the garden to help it grow faster, my dogs found the plants to be very tasty. Since applying the food last Friday, my dogs have dug up one tomato plant, one zucchini plant, and two cantaloupe plants. Not to mention the caterpillars who ate ever single bit of my broccoli. (I knew the broccoli wasn't going to be successful because I planted it too late.) So at this point in the summer, I am still hopeful, still watering, feeding, and nurturing my garden, but I'm not so sure it will give me even one lousy tomato. We shall see...I'll keep you posted.
