August

Beautiful Garden this summer, Viscious Mosquitoes, Low Work Motivation! BLT's without the L - not because we don't like L... To sum up this summer's garden project -- pretty.. chaotic.. mess of fun!

May and June

Planted the entire garden on Memorial day. Finished in a rain storm. Crazy weather! Things are popping up nicely. The deer have found the broccoli and chomped it down pretty good. Forgot to plant half of one row, so trying to decide if it's too late to stick something in that area! Thinking peas, flowers... Tried some re-arranging of rows. Planted the corn rows N/S surrounded by pumpkins and gourds. Looks like it's going to work nicely. Everything else stayed E/W rows. I think I like it!

School cabbage plant has place of honor in middle of garden between the spinach plants. At the end of summer, we're supposed to take a picture of it to the teacher to be submitted for the largest cabbage scholarship award. The deer or rabbits have found it, though, and have been nibbling. Bri's worried! I think we're going to have to come up with a cabbage crow.
