Remeber Me?

I know, I've been gone so long you were beginning to think I wasn't going to write anymore! Things here have been pretty busy but I think maybe this month will finally be back to my normal life. My six-month-old garden is beginning to decline a bit, partly due to my neglect in the last couple of weeks, but mostly due to age and all the rain, rain, rain, rain! My pretty rain chain is doing its job, guiding all that wonderful water into my rain barrel.

Tomato plants are about done, so I'm getting ready to cut off some shoots and bury them for a second go-around, although I imagine the fungus will be fierce now. Pepper plants are still going strong, although I have way too many of them. Next year I think I'll plant two instead of four. Chives are in love with their spot and are still looking good. Tarragon is beginning to decline and mint is still fighting that strange disease/bug this year, although it continues to grow. After all, things have to be really terrible to kill off the mint! Strawberries seem done for now, though the plants are still proliferating and hopefully will keep spreading and growing for next season's harvest. The new babies are parsley. Will keep you posted on how they come along. I sowed those seeds in the window box a couple weeks ago, so will see how they do. The seeds were from the Target $1.00 section so I'm curious about their quality. I am thinking I'd like to plant some lettuce and garlic, but I have to check on the Florida growing schedule for those. Hopefully I'll be back out in the garden soon. At least when it's raining it's not 95 degrees (only 90!).

Anyway...

Thanks for checking back on me

No, I wasn't attacked by the bees
