You might be wondering what happened to my garden while I was away for 2 1/2 weeks in Uganda. Well, DH did manage to keep it alive–thanks honey! However, it was a bit overgrown.
So I took a day off of my desk job and went to work in the garden.
I trimmed up the herbs and pulled the weeds.
I harvested kale and coriander and checked on the carrots. Then I planted some fall crops. I think it might be too late, but I thought I’d try it anyway. More kale, lettuce, rutabaga, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, brussels sprouts. We’ll see what happens.
Since these photos were taken, the cucumbers and red peppers have been doing very well. Unfortunately I think I have tomato blight, as the leaves are starting to wilt and brown. Next year we’ll make some more beds for more experimentation. I think that’s the most fun part of gardening, just watching to see what happens.

What a great idea to have the garden along the wall of your house..

tell me about it! Oh well, I’m glad he at least kept it alive 🙂
I will have been away for 3 weeks when I get home on Tuesday. I am anxious to see how my garden has been growing while away. DH was also gone hunting for a week. I think the zucchini is doing well! I am hoping my little pumpkins and butternut are growing well.
