It's been a while since I posted because life gets so busy I don't have time to just sit at the computer and think about things to - well, think about. But as I sit here today with the windows open, the birds singing, the green trees, grass and weeds extra fresh with the little rain that went through, I decided I need to keep a photo journal of our garden this year.
Last year, I have to brag, we had the best garden in the world. Our corn was fantastic, our tomatoes non-stop, beans coming out of our ears, spinach, onions, carrots, peppers (we actually got sick of salsa! :-0), potatoes - oh, the potatoes!, zucchini, cucumbers and well over a hundred pumpkins. It was incredible and we gave credit to the dump truck full of mink manure (4 inches thick over the entire garden), our new watering system, and the 15 minutes a day per child weeding.
This year we brought in more mink manure (not quite as much), have the same watering system(still finishing putting it back together) and expanded the garden a little. We moved the pumpkins to the front of the house, in the weed-ridden front circle that we haven't gotten around to landscaping in the last 9 years, so that they wouldn't take over the garden again. We added strawberry patches by the fence and several grapevines to grow on the fence. We made our garden map about the same as last year and it is planted and our fingers are crossed (except when weeding, of course). Now just add water, sun and time . . . and hope for the best.
