Jungle Garden

During certain events in life it is easy to imagine that the world is on pause because you can’t imagine that anything more important is going on than what you are experiencing at that moment. Garden baby, as I mentioned in my last post, picked up a nasty bug. When writing that last post I believed she was on the road to health but instead she landed herself in the hospital for another surgery and a few days on IV antibiotics. She seems to be doing much better and the world did not stop as evidenced by my garden…or should I say jungle.

The tomato plants are huge and overgrown, the compost pumpkins have grown into large plants that are threatening to take over, and the pole beans are a tangled mess. The tomato plants in my borrowed plot of land are more foliage than fruit so I believe some pruning is in order. I have no idea how to prune a tomato plant so luckily LDSPrepper posted a great video on how to do just that. Guess I will give his tips a whirl sometime this week or else we will have to experiment with tomato leaf salad rather than actual tomatoes.

As for the rest of the jungle, some heavy duty weeding will have to take place and possibly the installation of something taller for the tangled pole beans …possibly a pole. Since my zucchini and yellow squash plants have perished for mysterious reasons (Kidnapping? Assassin?), the pumpkin intruders in that plot will stay. Some of the others will have to go or else my garden will turn into a pumpkin patch. I do love pumpkins but I was really hoping for a more diversified garden!

Tommy’s plant grew beans! He hoped and hoped for at least one bean and feared for his little plant during every heavy rain storm. Well, he got two beans and we were all very excited. Thank you little bean plant.

Bean fangs of course!

Just yesterday I was weeding my side garden, I guess I forgot to was my hands and got to doing other things. Later, for some strange reason I smelled my hands and I felt like I was sitting with Gram. She always had that aroma about her, I suppose beacuse of all the weeds she pulled on a regular basis.

Glad that Nina is on the mend. It is strange that sensation that time has stopped because of whatever you are going through and when you get back to "normal" life/routine everything has in fact continued.
