Rueful chuckle at your wonderful story telling ability! sounds like this has not been your year. Replanting everything 3 times - has to be a hassle. I was having to do a bunch of replanting too, and I don’t think I’m over, either. I join you in your mourning for your okra plants. Now that I know what they are, I would be really sad if I were to lose them at this stage.
I hope I even get cucumbers. So far, I have lots of blooms, and I think I located that little start of one, but we’ll see.
“Yes, gardening is more of a learning experience with our harvests costing more than it’s sometimes worth. But then a tomato off the vine is a million times better than those cardboard things in the grocery. Besides, with the way things are these days, this knowledge might come in more handy than we thought just 5 years ago.” I’m like the way you said that. I agree totally. We just split our harvest of the blackberries and the tomato. Yum.
Thanks for walking me a bit through the garlic process. We have lots of wild garlic, but my Darlin mows it down too. Have used some of the tiny cloves, but are a lot of trouble. Had not thought of using them like chives. What a great idea!
Tell me when you’re having your dance, and I’ll do one here too in Indian country out here on the Plains!
TO, just send me a message and I’ll petition the Creator. You can’t be too careful!
