Sorry to bombard the blog with posts today. I’m way behind.
 
Despite my lack of attention, the garden is coming up nicely. Last year, I drew out a plan, spent months nurturing seedlings, and meticulously planted each plant. This year I had no plan, I never transplanted my seedlings from their original seeding trays so they were literally one inch when I planted them, and then we just sort of threw them in haphazardly. That, combined with the fact that about a third of them were washed away in never-ending rain, made for a very random looking garden. But alas, it’s growing. My zucchini and yellow squash are doing the best- see them at the far left of the photo. The peas are abundant- in the middle of the picture, and the strawberrys are very tall and green, but have produced few berries- most of which have been consumed by mouths other than our own. I am loving my pots on this back step. Last year these pots were by my front door. But I never saw them there. Now, I see them all day long as I stand at the window above my sink. Funny how simple decisions can make such a difference in our happiness!
