” Have you had a lot goodies to eat from your garden this year?”

No, the string beans have over-ridden everything else in the garden and killed everything. I only hope that I can till them under next year if they come back again.

Also, everything in the flower garden has already gone into dormancy until February or March. They do not die, they simply stop growing. It seems like they are stunted in adolescence. ;-)

Darn those beans!! Did you not have them tied to poles so they couldn’t spread out?
The one year I tried my hand at gardening, we had poles with wires strung between them for the plants to climb. If we hadn’t done that, they’d have been everywhere.

Our flowers are pretty much all in dormancy mode now too. I do have a few irises that Dad sent a few years ago that bloom twice a year and they should bloom in a month or so.
