Wild Abundance
Our weeds aren’t QUITE as bad as these, but I’m having to really work to try to catch up. Our monsoon-like rains here have resulted not only in a pretty stellar veggie crop this year, but also ‘weeds as high as an elephant’s eye’ (“Oklahoma” musical paraphrase).
I just came in from pruning our rose bushes to encourage more blooms and weeding and cutting back in our trio of brick planters between the front yard and the driveway. There is always more, but they look as if someone cares now. :0)
Yesterday I spent about an hour weeding in our veggie garden. The sheer volume of weeds won. I’ll go out in a few minutes (wearing a sweat band and having sprayed with OFF!) – I DO learn from mistakes! – and I’ll see if I can finish weeding the boxes today.
This year it seems as though we’re always trying to get something done ‘before the day’s rain.’ Today we have a 50% chance of heavy rain. 80% tomorrow. 50% Friday…. you get the idea.
I told you yesterday that I would try to get pics of our tomato plants. I forgot, so I’ll go out and get some now.
It’s been a couple of days since I checked on the tomato plants. We have some green tomatoes!
We have 4 tomato plants in this planter.
And two more plants here. (These were so large I had to string wire to hold them up!)
This is one green tomato from these two plants.
Did I tell you I’m having trouble keeping up with things with all the rain we’ve been having?!?!
Heading out to the veggie garden to see if I can finish weeding there.
