Planting is usually more satisfing than the fall cleanup, but yesterday it felt good to rip out one of the zucchini plants, making more room for the cherry tomatoes...The pole beans growing on a fence panel was hauled out to the back fence and left for the deer to eat...I gleaned beans and zucchini, pulled the beets and all the while I'm doing this, next years garden is playing in my head, like a worn out record..."Leave more room between plants and rows, so things are less crowded."...Hard to do because our garden plot is small and I want to grow a variety of vegetables...This year I resorted to growing a turban squash in a flowerbed, it is doing well and so far the deer have left it alone...Maybe the frost will stay away and it will mature...This morning, more of the same is in store, cleaning up flowerbeds or veggie gardens, a good feeling comes from knowing that for a few months we can eat healthy, fresh foods and enjoy the abundant blooms surrounding us.
Herb is back on the watering schedule as our extremely dry summer makes it even more important to keep everything well watered until the fall rains arrive...(we hope)...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
