My Garden: Prime Time

The pumpkins are my fav.!

the Zinnias surprised me with their height

So, this year was my second “Mini” Vegetable Garden. At first I was afraid nothing was growing but then I finally got some foliage: Peas, a few carrots & radishes, one sunflower (a lovely surprise!), Nastursioms, Zinnias and pumpkins. (and lots of weeds)

I had planted a few other things that didn’t show up: watermelon, cucumbers, lettuce, etc. I had seeds from up to 5 years ago. I wonder if that was part of the problem!

I’m going to add compost after the first hard frost because that’s what I read was good in preparation for next year’s garden!

My friend Liz just throws her compost right on the garden spot straight from her kitchen. I might have to try that.

Next year I’m going to have lovely Metal Utensil Plant Markers. I got a metal letter/number Stamp kit at Harbor Freight Tool store and I found a tutorial on the web. I’ll share later.

That’s all from Mel’s Garden.
