July in the Garden!

July in the garden! This very interesting and challenging garden season continues… The incredible and needed rains brought some relief and redemption, but only a few of the dozens of crops I planted this year actually survived and amounted to anything. Then last week while weeding, I got attacked and stung by a wasp for the first time ever, it was awful.

This year has been a test! I honestly can’t tell if the garden is asking me to give up and take or break or if I really want to do this thing no matter what and renew my commitment to it. I have landed on a little of both depending on the day.

But alas, she still shines, and to get all these tomatoes when I thought for sure the plants were forsaken is just incredible. I don’t quite know what to make of things, but I do know that I am still in awe of all it. And, the great thing about gardening is that I get to try again next year – and boy do I have plans for improvement.
