a simple poem sums it up
lovely spring garden
summer HEAT, garden left wild
towhees benefit
summer HEAT, garden left wild
towhees benefit
My brother said the summer heat of 2012 was akin to a blizzard. It forced many of us indoors against our will.
After many sweaty days in the garden, I made a decision to let it go. Surprisingly, it still produced more tomatoes and chocolate mint than I could ever use.....but the potatoes, squash, beets and chard suffered. I'm shopping for fresh veggies at the local farm stand...
On the bright side.....as I machete my way toward the sungold cherry tomatoes, I'm greeted by families of wrens, goldfinches and towhees. TOWHEES! Flitting among the drooping sunflower heads. A late summer reward from my messy garden.
I'm planning for next year....
