Garden Blog

ah ha!! ...I suspect the title misled you ....this is not a garden of sin ....but a garden of cyn ...me! I am experiencing Fall now so my garden is limited. It is a bit bare and all the flowers are dying out or going to sleep for the winter. my 2 towers of Morning glories are not so glorious now but still putting out an effort in flowering, Snapdragons have lost their snap the Alyssum are turning brown with just a few white and purple blooms. On the Holy hocks my small family of Grass Hoppers are looking sad and have changed their coats to a dull gray as the ready to close up shop for the season. Watering is only needed twice a week now, unlike the summer when I water religiously every morning before the sun starts its scorching trip from east to west. I am nearly ready to harvest and dry the herbs, Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, and Parsley. I read about small window gardens to try, made with recycled pastry containers of clear plastic that act like mini terrarium's for tender baby lettuce and sprouts. I have the perfect window to keep them by with plenty of sunshine. we'll see how it goes. In my garden journal I plan and scheme for next years garden, with seed catalog's scattered around me. It is always a good idea to record the good and bad of a years efforts, helps with the planning of gardens to come.
