Gardening Glory

My Veggie Garden!

The corn grew really well, which thrilled me because I just love it. So did the raccoons though, unfortunately. I was forewarned, so I didn't shed tears over it at least.


Behold the stunning weeds that overtook my garden. You probably can't see any of the edible stuff here...since the weeds are rather more lively.


Here is all of my remaining stunning produce. I was surprised to see some parsley hidden among the weeds. I guess we'll consume that in some form or other for dinner. Mmmmm. The potatoes turned out to be fairly large, and considering that I used purchased potatoes that had started to sprout, it seems like it was worth the effort. And no, there wasn't much effort. I spent time planting it all one sunny morning or afternoon, and possibly weeded it a few times. For the rest it was subject to the elements with no other care. I also had good radishes a long time ago.


Sure was a beautiful sunny time outside. A tad too warm for me, but I'm sure everyone else would have found it completely splendid.


It looks like we have a free sandbox now!


And a free...I don't know.

It is a start. It looked hideous right where everyone could see it though. Not sure I will have one next year just 'cause we don't have much room. Maybe I'll do some potted herbs--and have them indoors in the winter? Like basil, parsley, and chives. I'm not sure...but it's sure expensive buying them fresh...and they're so good! I'll have to think a bit on what I'll do next year.

Send me over and I'll do it all for ya!! Sounds like fun!

Last oil change done on the van, they cleaned it too. How nice is that!
