Some times I cut out a little to more though... <br /><br />My potato bin is still going strong.

My bush bean patch and sugar snap peas are looking tired and nasty - but I am letting them set seed for next year's garden so I will have to refrain from the urge to rip them out for a while longer yet.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-49156834734814988292009-08-27T07:31:56.872-04:002009-08-27T07:31:56.872-04:00Jody M, thanks.

I think I like Bean's version of it just as much though.<br /><br />the inadvertent farmer, that is what I need - some animals to feed all the scraps to.<br /><br />Michelle, oh no! I have rat traps that I occasionally use on those dreaded chipmunks. We don't have rats, but the chipmunks will eat anything. Chipmunks are cute though so I really don't want to kill them. I only do it when they are totally out of control. Luckily they don't eat my seedlings or my beans.<br /><br />EG, yeah it is going around this year. I hope next year we get some more normal weather.<br /><br />June, yup I did reasonably well. So far I've gotten an average of five pounds of tomato from each plant. Though some did much better than others. For the tomatoes that are done I might put up the totals for the that variety. I think Market Miracle will win in the potted tomato category.<br /><br />Tyra, yes those feelings really get some work done in the garden. Sometimes the spirit just takes me. I wasn't planning on ripping out so much when I started.<br /><br />our friend Ben, thanks. I'm really happy to be able to walk down the paths now. Well it will be a bit still, but I'm pretty impatient to find out too. <br /><br />Cynthia, I've got some powdery mildew too in my zucchini. I don't want to rip it out because I don't have enough shredded zucchini for the winter yet. I love my zucchini bread when it gets cold. I love those Golden Digger Wasps. I wish they came back from when I had them last year. I kept watching the oregano, but maybe I should have been watching my mint flowers instead.<br /><br />Wendy, that is true. My problem is I don't have space for my spinach and mache. I'll have to look around and get them in soon. It finally cooled down here.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-2634492231794772082009-08-26T23:11:36.741-04:002009-08-26T23:11:36.741-04:00It looks great - nice and tidy!

I also am getting sick of my marigolds and have ripped a couple out.

Perhaps it has something to do with the plants looking rather tired and tattered. Powdery mildew is starting to takes its hold on my zucchinis and pumpkins. They were fighting it off for so long until we got some cooler, damper weather a couple weeks ago. Then BOOM out of nowhere there is the powdery mildew. I cannot stand it either and want to rip everything out when they get it.Cynthiahttp://brambleberriesintherain.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-71657577529601755652009-08-26T17:48:51.505-04:002009-08-26T17:48:51.505-04:00I love the scent of marigold foliage, too, Daphne,...I love the scent of marigold foliage, too, Daphne, so I can totally relate.

I'm hoping to get some more beans out, though. <br /><br />No blight here, yet (knock wood).<br /><br />Oh, and my favorite book is Ender's Game, too!Jody Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319247865999565138noreply@blogger.com
