YIKES!!!

The garden is so overrun right now.  I haven't been to work on it in probably 2 or 3 weeks.  It was either way to hot or it rained everyday.  This is not complaining or excusing, just stating a fact.  This is what was ready today.

July 19th

There is a beet, cucumber, zucchini, and two tomatoes.  Yikes. The old adage 'If you don't use it, you lose it" seems quite appropriate here. Cabbage bugs (or beetles) are everywhere as well.  Some cleaning and weeding is what is going to be going on for the next couple of days.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.

The herbs are doing well though. Basil aplenty, tarragon galore, and more oregano that I need.

blast from the past

I was trying to find a picture for a friend and came across this one on a CD.

Spring (2005?)

This is from the first year I every tried to grow something in my yard.  I know it is the first year because that is the only year I have planted sunflowers.  I don't know why I haven't planted them again.  I think it might be because of the birds they attracted.

Summer (same year)

I was doing ghetto gardening even then.  The branches were to hold up my tomato plants that had fallen over. I didn 't know what to do then and for some reason didn't ask anyone or look up things on the Internet.  Oh, well. Live and learn.
