What's Growin' On: 8/19/06


Showing Off My Handywork



Less Than Two Weeks Later

Realization Of The Day:
By 8:00 this morning, even the weeds were already wilting. But record breaking temperatures and barely a drop of rain for weeks can't keep the garden mint from growing back. Brown thumbs--meet your new best friend!

Realization #2:
It's way too hot to write coherent sentences about gardening.

Realization #3:
I have lots of nice white laundry on the line (that's been dry since 10 minutes after I hung it up yesterday), the thunder is rumbling so loudly it's practically shaking The Shack--and it is totally sunny outside. Something is seriously wrong here.

    I'd gladly send you my rain, it's making all my cherry tomatoes split!

    The mint thing reminds me of the time my Mom decided to et rid of mint that had gone wild in her yard by rototilling it.. Mint everywhere!LOL!

    I know hanging clothes out on the line has worked in the past for you, but how about a rain dance? It just might work, it has for us!

    steven thats a classic story. I'm becoming a bit of a mint obsessive - I really like some of the weirder varieties like chocolate et al and am playing with naturalising them where they can run around without causing any harm. Nothing beats walking through a nice carpet of mint for summer smells.

March 2013 update: My apologies for the inconvenience - I know word verification is a pain - but I've had to turn it on to help stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I've been getting every day. Thanks for your understanding.

Welcome to InMyKitchenGarden.com! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love to hear about what's going on in your own garden. I know, too, that other readers also delight in reading about your garden successes, failures, helpful tips, and lessons learned. Feel free to leave comments on older posts!

I try my best to answer all questions, but sometimes it takes me a few days to get to them. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your visits to my kitchen garden!
