The Garden Chronicles

The garden has been a source of frustration for me of late.  Mostly a consequence of poor germination, poor growth, critters and general lack of plant vitality.

All of this started with unseasonably cold weather.  Followed by a stretch of blistering hot weather.  Followed-on by cold weather.  All overlapped by a dearth of rainfall.  Drought conditions.  Then to add insult to injury while away fishing this year the ground squirrels excavated my seed potatoes and after nibbling on them left them on the surface of the dirt to dry-out under a hot hot sun.

Ugh.

All of the troubles aside at least the onions, broccoli and tomatoes seem to be doing fine.  And my third sowing of radishes is up and prospering. By the time you are reading this post I'll likely be replanting cukes, pumpkins, green beans, carrots and lettuces.

Vive le Jardin Magnifique!
