Every year we plant a small garden.
Every year we take good care of it.
We weed. We water. We reap the benefits of our labors.
And then August comes.
And then we forget.
All about the garden.
This year baseball season took so much of our time. And the garden got pushed aside (It never happened). I kept hearing people talk about their gardens and felt a little sad that we had dropped the ball this year. So when one Sunday at church, someone had left some sad looking plants in the kitchen and we snagged a few (a squash and 2 tomato plants). And then the next day at Lowe's, I grabbed some clearance plants (2 cucumbers, 1 green pepper, 1 jalapeno and 2 tomato). It was already the end of June, but better late then never, right?
1 1/2 months later, our little "I think I can" garden is finally producing! And being that it is already mid-August and we are already neglecting the poor thing, I'm quite shocked.

Way to go, even if it is late! I haven't done a single thing this year! You, as always, are still my idol... even in your SLACKING ways... :P
Glad to see some of those plants reached their potential. Good Job!
I grabbed some sad looking churchkitchen plants too and found 3 cherry tomatoes yesterday! All my squash keeps getting eaten by squirrels.
