Addybelle's Garden: July 2009

So I started a blog. I'm a planner. I like to organize and prioritize. Sounds kind of weird for a gardener, but hey, its who I am. I like dirt. I like starting things from seeds and help them become the greatness that is veggie! I spent countless hours/days/weeks/months preparing for my garden adventure. I read. I read seed catalogs, old books of my mother's, other gardeners' blogs, random websites about gardening basics, and magazines. With that said, I will forever be a beginner gardener/farmer. So, again, I started a blog. I'm going to share my gardening ups and downs, what worked for me and, of course, my epic failures. I love to share tricks and knowledge and experiences with people that I've learned over time. So please, read my blog and come over to my garden, and mostly, enjoy!

Lord have mercy!

No posts in June. Shame on me. Busy stuff at work. Crazy stuff at home. Addy needs a break. Enter vacation...Just left work for the last time at least for the next week. Instantly my mind has gone into "vacation to-do list" mode. You'd be amazed how quickly I can fill a notebook with wishful thinkings of cleaning out the garage or reorganizing the office. But, alas, I promise to spend at least one day of this vacation alone and just being thankful and mindful of what I've got. The garden is getting out of control with weeds. I had no idea that squash vines could travel as far as they do. Seriously...ten feet guys??? Is that necessary for only one little squash?

Anyhoo...some pictures from June
