Gourds

One corner of the garden is still a mess. It's where we planted our bird house gourds, and I've been afraid to get in there to weed because we can't see where they are coming up for us! Not sure what's going on there!
Annette and I enjoy crafts. She sews and knits, and I do the gourd crafts. Really hoping they still pop up for us!!

Solving the Problems of the World - One Weed At A Time!

Well, Annette and I got a little bit behind in our weeding! I don't know what happened!! We had such good intentions! I think it was a combination of weather, kids, hubbies, summer, chores... you name it, it probably applied to us!! Annette says that we have put a completely new meaning behind the word "organic" gardening!

Seriously, though, the times we did get together to just weed, we feel we made a huge dent in solving all of the complex issues of the world! One weed at a time!! Now, if only we could just get someone to listen to our solutions!!
The huge, out of control weeds have been taken care of! Now we are back on track and into maintenance mode! Which means that the garden, once again, looks like a garden! We have even been able to enjoy the first pickings of the season! Zucchini, radishes, chard, spinach, cukes, cherry tomatoes, and one green pepper!
Despite the weed issue, and juggling of garden time together, we are having a blast with our summer adventure!! And, honestly, weeding is even fun when you are weeding with a friend. I will confess, one week I think I did more complaining than weeding while Annette seriously tackled the weeds.

Annette has shared some veggies with her neighbors, and I've enjoyed some really great spinach and chard salads!
Happy July!!!
