Gardening update...

Aarrrggghhhh!!  The seedlings got SCORCHED!!  Okay, now that I've gotten that out...

Finally the weather truly has cooled off.  I'm going to replant half of my earthboxes with cool weather seeds and for the other half I'm going to buy plants from Home Depot.  This way I have veggies soon to satisfy my craving for fresh garden veggies and yet keep developing true gardening skills.

On a postive note, I found out that Winter Garden Feed and Seed carries onion bulbs, garlic bulbs and potatoes (November).  The onion and garlic bulbs were planted over the weekend.  I'm thinking for the potatoes this year I'm going to try the barrel method.  Depends on my mood when the time comes.

As for the garlic and onions I can't wait to see how that turns out!  Yummmm!

To end on a not yummy note, I was patrolling the garden for buggies (I have cucumbers and squash growing from seed) and it was time to "man up" and squish caterpillars.

I truly hate the "bug squishing" part of gardening.

Gardening is not for wimps!
