Garden

 

I decided to try to plant a garden this year.  I'm not sure what possessed me to plant one this year being fairly pregnant and all, but I couldn't get it out of my head that I needed to plant this year.  So the large pregnant woman has been out there hoeing, planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting her garden this summer.  Last year I didn't even attempt it, probably from the sense of failure I had from the previous year.  Two years ago I had planted a beautiful garden along our fence line since the area was already sectioned off with stones and looked like a perfect place for a garden.  Everything was growing and we were starting to get some produce when my neighbor decided it would be a great idea to spray some heavy duty weed killer along the fence line that killed every living plant including my whole garden.  So this year I planted far away from the neighbor.   I had someone come and plow up a large section in the back of our yard and got to work planting.  I was a bit over ambitious on the produce I attempted to grow, some of it thrived and some of it died rather quickly.  I guess I'm better off buying certain produce in the grocery store or farmers market

 

Plants that Thrived:  tomatoes, zucchini, squash, peppers, butternut squash, cucumbers, collard greens, basil

Plants that Died:  swiss chard, beets, kale
