What can I say about this year's garden... hmmm. Well the other day we found this sunflower that Jackson planted had popped up. That was nice. And my sis and I did can all those tomatoes. That was very nice.
Remember when I said these "flowers" were my favorite "flowers" to photograph in the fall? Is it believable if I say that I planted our whole garden full of them? You know, just to photograph. Look how pretty they are!
After the groundhog ate everything, and then I replanted it, and he ate it again, I kind of got discouraged about gardening this year. Plus those potato beetles ate every potato plant aside from the beautiful one that planted itself in our compost. Oh and I thought it was a good idea to place a rounded wire screen over the whole melon garden- NOT a good idea as the weeds got tangled up in it and I couldn't pull them out. Everytime I went to the garden after all of this I was reminded by all the empty (weed) beds of what wasn't growing. This didn't prove to be a very good motivator. By the end of the season I was really doing my best to avoid the garden altogether.
But look at those squash! Don't they look delicious! (I have to try and end the year on a good note so come next spring I will be inspired (tricked) into doing this all over again). I know, they do look delicious! I cannot wait to eat them! My garden is amazing! I'm so glad I'm a real gardener!
