Several rainy days, and with me under the weather too, today I finally got out to the backyard to check out the gardens. The hostas were in need of a little extra water, but the hanging baskets were just fine. The butterfly garden just istn’ sprouting, and the veggie gardens are overgrown with dandelions and evil evil thistles. I don’t know if this was the best year for me to get to gardening.

James and I walked the backyard and talked about next year’s garden, and it was fun to make future plans. I’ll have to get a tiller though, and get better about weeding.

On a happier note though, I’ve got 5 okra plants that are doing well, and 3 green bean plants that are blooming. I also have a row of corn that is doing great, so maybe just maybe we’ll get some tasty corn on the cob out of the garden. I’m debating whether or not to replant some of the seeds, and hope for warmer Fall weather, and a late second crop of veggies, but I just don’t know if I can keep up with the weeding…
