Officially, summer is here. I sort of laughed out loud with “summer” arrived. Really? I am ready for fall. No rain in sight and things are getting super crispy around these parts. Harvesting anything has been sort of a joke. It gets frustration to water and water and watch and wait and then watch many thing never produce. I have pulled out most of the garden and I shake my head because many of you are just starting to harvest things. I am trying not to get to frustrated, but at this point, with two dry springs/summers and terrible springs gardens I am seriously thinking about only gardening in the fall and winter.
I know spring will roll around and I will get inspired, but it’s also hard when your winter garden is still growing great and you are still eating from it. Now I wish I would have just left the winter garden go as long as it could.
To keep my spirits up, I am going to share some nice photos. Photos that make me smile.
I hope they make you smile too.
How is your garden growing this year?
Sincerely, Emily
P.S. I will be “unplugged” from technology for a few weeks, so you will not see you comment appear until I plug back in and get back in the swing of things. I look forward to reading your comments and will respond to each and every one of them.
You can see what else I am up to over at Sincerely, Emily. The topics are varied, as I jump around from gardening to sewing to making bread or lotion and many things in between.
I LOVE sunflowers! They just say “HELLO” when you see them. Great pictures.
Have a great trip, Emily!
Thanks Xan! It was great!
This year has been so hot and dry for us as well. I think it has been 6 weeks or more since we had a drop!! And we are going to hit 100 the next two days! Augh!!!
Dang, that is hot and dry for your area Rick. I just got back from England and they haven’t seen the sun yet this summer (for the most part) I tried to take some of our South Texas sun with me.
