Harvest
I'm late to blogging today, but how can I sleep without getting my creative fix? Blogging...oh how I love thee.
I saw this little "ode to a summer garden" on Sugar City Journal and fully related. Our decent-sized garden spot has been a study in neglect this year. The tomatoes are still arriving in all their glory. The cucumbers were glorious. But almost everything else has suffered at our out-of-town-too-much hands.
How goes your harvest? I'm still holding out for some decent mini-pumpkins...

Well, I have lots of mint, tomatoes, arugula, and soon-to-be lemons! Nothing else made it...
The cold wet early summer doomed my melons. Yet my poor watermelon plants are merrily putting out their first flowers. Do you think I should tell them?
I'm still getting tomatoes, but the zucchini plant drowned my pepper plants and only gave me 3 small zucchini, so zucchini is banned from my garden next year.
We started our garden this year.. the salad was delicious until my son ripped it all out to make salad confetti. The basil turned into a huge bush, which is wonderful. The peppers are fine too.. and the single apple on our apple tree is waiting for us to harvest... BUT the rest of our garden looks like a jungle of weeds. they seem to outgrow the trees we planted.. sigh.. but I'm to busy nursing and keeping the kids from destroying the garden. They seem to need another summer to get used to have a garden that is supposed to be a bit nicer looking than our last one.
I love this! Our veggie garden is full of neglect. The corn is being ravaged by crows and critters, tomatoes were horrible. We mostly got alot of green beans, cucumbers and zucchini which is great but I totally had way more plans to be in there more weeding and nurturing everything.
Oh, that is very funny. I'm afraid that the garden I dream of creating someday will end up with a similar fate...
