Garden Party

I seriously wasn’t sure how my garden would do while we were gone for a month to Michigan. I came back and it had been a bit overwatered and I had squash bugs. Ugh. My carrots were fine, but the peas had died and most of my tomatoes and green peppers. Well, we dug up said carrots and WOW. The biggest harvest out of 6 square feet from my garden boxes. These pics don’t do the big carrots justice. They were about 2 inches in diameter! HUGE..BIG.

So we did get some fat cucumbers and green beans. So there will be lots of carrots for the winter. Chicken noodle soup here we come.

Lucky! I started a little "garden" on my porch with just cilantro and flowers. They were all doing OK, so to "help I thought I would mix up the dirt a little bit around it to get more air to the roots. Apparently this was a bad idea. Doh!
