If they continued to turn yellow, it may have been too much water. If they just dried up and wilted and turned yellow, may have been too little water. Sorry to hear you
lost your plants.

Here's my garden today. The squash, cukes and pole beans are doing really well. The okra hasn't done well at all and the peppers are just marginal. The tomatoes are late since I had to replant, but are finally coming along.

I'm glad you posted pics of your first straw bale garden. I set up a 20-bale garden this year after a farmer friend said that you could grow potatoes in a bale. Hadn't heard of that before so I found a book that explained the process and decided to give it a try. My yard has good sun only in the part that has a rock terrace and poor clay soil so previous gardens weren't much to brag about. The bales took a loooong time to condition because the spring weather was very cool with a late frost in May. The starter plants survived that stretch, but I had to replant the seed beds. Things are finally starting to take off in a big way. Thanks for sharing your garden pics!
