Weeds

Well, this online garden died just like my real garden. And it wasn't just my little garden that died. The entire yard outside has been wiped out from last year's drought.

Before the garden completely collapsed on me I did get a few things out of it. Some good tomatos, some bell and banana peppers, and the zuchinni plants made a ton of blossums but didn't bear any fruit. I heard later that I needed to rub the blossums together.

This year is the year of the yard. First, we are looking to install a water well followed by an irrigation system. My convervation-bent brother may be troubled to read that but fear not - read on. Second, we are currently working with a landscape designer to help us pull together a sustainable design that we can easily maintain and won't require a lot of water. And third, I hope to have a newer, bigger, vegetable garden relocated where it gets more sun and is contained behind a high fence to protect it from the deer...and the rabbits....and the racoons.....and opossums, mice, dogs, cats, etc.
