Just as I had given up on the couple of plants that seemed to make it in the ground this year, Fall hit early and the rain came. Now things are beginning to ripen just as I’ve lost hope on getting anything out of the garden this year. But Jude seems to be eating the tomatoes as they come off the vine… so the chances of using any of it beyond that is pretty impossible.
Good luck with your winter garden. I’m already looking forward to starting fresh next spring and making plans for how I can actually get this garden to do something.
Getting dirty and nurturing helps almost every time and as my good friend Sharyn would say to us, “It can’t hurt, Girls.” And so we do, we go on, we redo, replant, fertilize.
As the world spins on her axis and hurtles through space one day follows another.
I thought that nothing in the world would come between me and my plants when we first got into it this year. But nursing the plants back to health obviously fell to the wayside for us after Scarlett‘s stay in the hospital. I swore that nothing, not even the plants would pry me away from the kids. Then Spencer was hit by a car on his motorcycle Sunday morning; He’s been in intensive care, recovering from brain surgery for the past two days. I’m almost afraid to say that nothing will pry me away from him.

sounds like a good plan to me
