Finished planting my 100’ by 50’ garden and it’s filled with watermelon, cantaloupe, pie pumpkins, big pumpkins, tomatoes, basil, parsley, beans, eating corn, ornamental corn, gourds, grapes, blueberries, raspberries, pears, apples, and of course, flowers and herbs galore! This has been weeks in the making. I cannot tell you how tired I am this evening! Physically spent but so excited it’s finished! The next project is to plant the old Song Garden with pumpkins, sunflowers, etc etc! First we (Dan) had to take back the Song Garden by cutting down and pulling the forest of golden rod, mint, Sweet Annie, etc! It’s just about ready to be planted. Planting two GIANT gardens is a major workout for us and takes about a month…and we seem to still love every grueling minute of it.
