The garden's a mess

The whole garden is a mess. Not just the Square Foot part of it, but the whole lot. Fallen leaves everywhere. Unkempt flower beds filled with the browning remains of summer flowers. Straggling rose bushes and untrimmed hedges. Shrivelled cucumber plants (still with a couple of remaining cucumbers) and tomatoes (still with green fruit). I don't even know what's happening with the pumpkin or the butternut squash since I haven't been out there in days.

I can say, however, that the leeks are doing well and looking healthy. The ones we planted last spring are pretty much ready to eat, and the baby leeks I put out there a few months ago are looking more like onions than grass, so they're on their way too. But the only way I know they're doing well is by looking out the window. Indoor hobbies have kept me away from everything else for the last few days. I've got to get back to the garden soon but it won't be today.

  1. Those additional hobbies can cause problems sometimes. I put my hokbby of quiltmaking on hold til my gardens are up and running. Of course, spring is just coming here so I'm busy, busy, busy.
