Some of my friends have asked me lately how my garden is doing. All I can do is crinkle my nose and say -- ick.
I have to admit that I have neglected the garden lately. My schedule as a full-time working mom has conspired with the heat to keep me out of the garden most of the time over the past couple of months, and as a result, it has suffered.
The tomatoes have given just about everything they could; the squash, zucchini and melons were a disappointment. I know I need to get in there and shade the pumpkins from the sun... but it's been so hard to find the time.
I did not install an easy garden.
But one thing I love about gardeners is that hope springs eternal. While I have been too busy to work in the Spring garden I planted, and I have new hope that Fall will be different.
I'm ready to order seeds. As usual, my eyes bigger than my plot, but as I peruse the categories, I imagine nooks and crannies where the veggies can grow. I envison little a little oasis of veggie heaven here and there. There are so many things I want to grow. I just can't narrow it down!
Ah well, might as well order what I can. Even if I don't use all the seeds this time -- there's always the spring!
