We redesigned the layout of the garden into thirds rather than quarters. We now have one third devoted to the Ruth Stout method and the other two thirds containing double dug beds as advocated by John Jeavons - quite a contrast in labor...
Why do I say we have little to show for our work? We have had frost after frost, wind and more wind, and unseasonably cool daytime temperatures (10 degrees F below normal), and drought conditions. 
On May 24th all of our tomato, pepper, and squash transplants were killed by an unpredicted frost on the first night that they were placed out to harden off! We had frost nearly every night since then through June 4th! Potato shoots have been killed off and all beans that had emerged were killed also. Needless to say everything else has been slooooowwwww to emerge.
