AND THIS IS HOW OUR GARDEN GROWS...

CAN YOU SAY AWESOME????
A stellar week in our front and back yard!
Harvesting the veggies is fun!
A little "Miracle Grow" did wonders!
Not a bad looking gardener, either!!! ♥ 
I've  learned that not everything grows as planned, kinda like life....things just happen, no matter how much we think we can!


Cucumbers were an EASY thing to grow!


'Maters are also thriving!
Mistakes happen, but it doesn't mean that they are failures, it just means that we are suppose to learn something from them!
Corn did not do as well as expected, but got enough to freeze a lot of bags!
I've also learned that if you neglect or ignore things, you not only run the risk of killing them off, but, at the very least, they will not thrive and live a healthy life. This is true for the important people in our lives. If we take them for granted by burying ourselves in work, or things, or other people, our relationships will not be healthy and happy and can certainly die as well
Jalapenos --thumbs up!
Gardening has also taught me to be more patient and to let things happen in their own time. You cannot rush nature’s rhythm and timing. A seed will only grow as fast as it can. Fruit and vegetables will only ripen when it is time for them to ripen. Trying to pressure them into being ready when they are not is futile.
Green peppers  YAY!
Gardening requires consistent care! One of the best ways to ensure failure in your garden is to provide it with inconsistent or non-existent care. How so? Give it lots of attention at first, and then ignore it for weeks at a time, like watering it deeply and then waiting for it to completely dry out before you water again.
What tips do you have? 
Comments welcomed!
UNTIL NEXT TIME....
