My garden has shrunk to pots and a slightly raised border in front of the house. At my age, that is all I can handle. I have a pot of herbs on the front porch (parsley, basil, chives) and 2 Sweet 100s cherry tomatoes in large pots on pedestals on either side of a path to my fountain (no longer operating). In the border in front of the garage, I’ve planted 2 Early Girl tomatoes, I Roma tomato, 1 yellow cherry tomato, and 2 more Sweet 100s cherry tomato. In a huge half barrel, I have 2 zucchini. I can water all of these with one hose while walking on pavement and without getting my feet muddy. Wish me luck.
My flowers are limited to 3 urns and 2 large pots, all in a red, white, & blue theme to go with the eagle wreath on my red front door. I am hoping it will be profuse by the 4th of July. Same hose waters all.
My back is killing me from all that planting, even though most of it was elevated! My mind is ambitious, but my body objects.
“My mind is ambitious, but my body objects.”
Every year I try to come up with ways to make gardening easier for me.
Mainly, it’s saying ‘NO’ to some of my own hare-brained ideas, LOL!
