I cannot believe that Summer is officially over and we hit the first day of Fall…is anyone else grieving??? Because, I certainly am! Don’t get me wrong, I love my Fall colours, pumpkin spice lattes and boots however there is so much freedom in the Summer months that you just cannot get the rest of the year. I can walk outside barefoot at anytime, open the windows and wear all the pretty summer dresses! Oh Summer….oh how I love you!
To the garden….
It was a different year for me to grow in garden boxes as I usually just plant in good ole’ earth dirt, so there was some learning curves for me. My tomatoes rotted at the bottom, my cucumbers didn’t get enough sun but wholly heck, did I get some green peppers, beans, kale and peas this year! Honestly, I don’t think I know what I’m doing half of the time…I just plant some seeds, water and hope for the best! I do have to lean on my Sister in Law Tracy more often though, she knows her gardening and maybe she can help give some tips on gardening for next year. So what I’m actually saying….is that I have nothing to really offer you right now but my pretty pictures and what actually grew for me with little effort this year. Ha! Sorry…I will do better.
I will have to say that this garden has given me peace. I watered this baby almost everyday and there was usually a glass of wine in hand with some tunes, because what the hell…it’s 2020 and this year is a strugggggggle! NO JUDGMENT! I was alone with my thoughts and of course, I solved all the problems…well not really, but there was always hope!
Here’s to next summer and the next garden. If you have any foolproof tips and tricks, I would love to hear about them in the comments below. Help a struggling gardener out, would you?
Happy Wednesday Friends!
