Well, finally!
Last week’s converstaion about the garden went something like this (keep in mind we haven’t seen a single veggie come out of that garden in weeks or months)…
Me: So, any cucumbers yet? Any more beans? I know the tomatoes are a lost cause.
Adam: No, nothing. I’m not convinced of this whole gardening thing.
Today for grins and giggles, I decided to see if that one single 2 inch tomato was ready to be picked. Therese has been wanting to pick it FOREVER and it finally turned red. While I was at it, I check on the cucumbers. We had so many blooms I just couldn’t believe we didn’t have fruit yet. Blessed be God! I found small cucumbers starting to grow. Therese picked her tomato–and ate it as soon as we could come in to wash it. And she saw that our cucumbers are finally growing. There may be hope for this whole gardening thing after all.
Don’t give up hope yet, Gretencords! Our first gardening endeavor this year resulted in our entire row of spinach dying with hardly an edible leaf grown; our entire row of basil dying, leaving us with 3 plants; leaf-footed stink bugs giving our tomato plants virii that has subsequently sickened and demolished them, and two squash plants that are taking over the garden.
But we have gotten some tomatoes and squash, as well as some beets (though we haven’t yet figured out how to cook them!).
Thanks for the affirmation Devin. I might actually have to do more research next year to make this think work. Or if the cucumbers are a hit, then we’ll be planting cucs and squash next year.
hey Sharon!
Could I have your e-mail address?
