This isn’t how I planned my growing season would go...no one could have predicted the craziness we are living through right now. It’s been one disaster after another for Trainwreck Farms. Someone suggested that maybe “Trainwreck” farms was not the best choice in names. Maybe I should have named it Everythjng is Perfect Farms. But let’s be real, nothing is perfect.
It’s August 8th and my very much smaller garden is just coming into bloom. I haven’t posted pretty pictures of my progress because there aren’t any. To be honest, the thing that brought me so much joy last summer has been nothing but a source of stress this summer. There are days that I don’t even go into my garden because I just can’t. It’s less than 1/2 it’s original size, lots of what I planted is doing what looks to be nothing, the weeds are taller than me, no joke.
Loads of people want to know how the garden is doing (I appreciate that more than you know!) WHEN will you have flowers ready? Makes me want to bury my head in the sand.
BUT, today I harvested these beauties. And it made me happy. Sometimes our plans get derailed. Sometimes things don’t go our way. I’m pretty sure that’s the theme for 2020. Why should it be any different for me?
SO, this summer I will take notes about what went wrong (lots) and try, try again next summer.
In the mean time, I have beautiful snap dragons in all the colors of the sunset available. They won’t be in my camper because, that, too is a bit of a trainwreck right now. Reach out if you’d like some & you can either come up to the house or I can deliver.
Thank you for your inquiries, loving thoughts & understanding. We’ll get through this together 💕
