The Garden Chronicles

While spiritually and emotionally satisfying there's no getting around that gardening can be work.  Hard work.  With all of hoeing, bending and stooping at the close of some days I fieel like a field hand.

The green beans are coming to an end so I took out the row that was planted first.  The second planting is still producing blossoms so I'll leave that.  The cucumbers have been strong and the tomatoes are about ready to come into their own.  Broccoli has been a disappointment.  With all of the heat no florets.  The spuds and onions can probably be harvested after Labor Day.

If you review the picture you'll note the bare spots in the garden are were a previously-planted crop has been harvested.

Vive le Jardin Magnifique!
