In between the torrential down-pours of the last few weeks I have been sneaking out of doors to snip this, plant that and just plain flit hither and yon. In between the down-pours I have almost gone mad from lack of gardening in its more serious form; ie: hard core garden planting. All of the soggy soil has about made me resort to container gardening over traditional in-ground gardening...but alas for the last three days the sun has shone!
After months and months of what my sister farm chicks and I have lovingly dubbed "bi-polar" weather, the seeds are going into the soil! While Miriam and Cara are starting their Three Sisters Garden plots, I have been pulling spindly plants from the greenhouse.
Today however, I had to take a minute for myself. Today I escorted my kids plus three extras to the library for a moment of blogging. I do have a smidge of guilt at not being out in the garden but..
So while I am here I want to know...How does your garden grow??
Good post and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thanks you seeking your information.
ReplyDeleteI tried gardening in the middle of the desert where I live. Last spring we planted lettuce, strawberries, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, cilantro, cucumber. Within a month the ground squirrels had celebrated with their own Thanksgiving and our garden was decimated. I haven't had the nerve to try again.
ReplyDeleteNow they are eating my chicken food and growing very, very fat.
