I love my garden... but I have been going there less and less as the season has progressed. I used to go almost every morning... There was lots to do with weeding and seeing the growth... everything looked so small cute and organized.
June 30
As it got hotter and really became summer it became harder for me to get to my garden. I know they say this summer isn't as hot as ones in the past... but it feels hotter to me. I decided that I am not a fan of hot weather this summer so we spend most of our time inside... I really just need to brave the heat... I think I just got spoiled when June was so cool. Anyway... back to the garden... I did pretty good going to the garden until July... it got hot and life got busy in the mornings... All of a sudden my garden looked huge...
July 30
Mostly now I go to pick things... sometimes only once a week... I'm trying to be better... But when I went to the garden a week later I couldn't believe how big it had gotten in a week!
I took this today so Aug 10. The pumpkin has taken over even more and the cucumbers have spread out... I think next year I want twice as much space to plant the same things... It it just a little crowded now... I have to step on plants to get to anything and I can't see any of the carrots, onions, cantaloupe, or watermelon that I've planted cause they are all under the pumpkins.
Things I've learned
1. Pumpkins are HUGE!
2. I like chocolate zucchini cake!
3. Fresh green beans are VERY different from canned ones, so much better.
4. One plant can bear a lot of fruit... I think I picked 4 green peppers today from one plant.
5. Plants get really big... I didn't understand during planting why they wanted so much space for things.
6. Food fresh from the garden tastes so much better.
7. Adam will always find the mud and water and get dirty.
8. I love gardening!
