Gardeners are - let's face it - control freaks. Who else would willingly spend his leisure hours wresting weeds out of the ground, blithely making life or death decisions about living beings, moving earth from here to there, changing the course of waterways? The more one thinks about it, the odder it seems; this complusion to remake a little corner of the planet according to some plan or vision.
~ Abby Adams, What is a Garden Anyway
Today i reap my rewards for the labor i have put into my gardens. I feel like someone has whooped on me but i'm all smiles. I worked my gardens from noon till 8 today. The gathering of fresh veggies are simply a blessing. I still have my herbs to cut, gather and dry.
Humor me..... ;~) I dug up at least, if not more, 50lbs. of potatoes, 15lbs. of carrots, 20 huge bell peppers, loads of sweet peppers, too many cucumbers, summer squash out the butt, at least 10 lbs of green beans....oh, 5 eggplants. *smile* The tomatoes are unbelieveable, i don't allow them to bloom till june.... makes bigger and stronger plants....i quess fruit too. The tomatoes will be made into spag.sauce and paste.
This was not the first picken. I have had three wheel barrows full already plus the daily gatherings these past few weeks. My freezer looks good! And it ain't over with yet! This winter there's going to be alot of veggie soup!
Well i just wanted to share my abundant day with you. *smile* I hope you all had a nice day or night.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care xo ~see ya
