Right now we are in the midst of garden chores, if they can be called that..to me, planting, watering fertilizing and picking [both flowers and food] are anything but burdensome.
We have had the first broccoli and the little cucumbers will be ready next week, I see a tomato turning already and the flowers are gorgeous this summer. We have had horrible slug and snail problems but other than that every thing except the New Dawn rose looks great. The roses were just beautiful, but some pesky bug turned the leaves into lace curtains.
The deer have also been the usual problem but they are not as bad as some years, probably because I have been using Shake-away which has coyote and bobcat urine in the formula, and also instructed DH to make a late night pit stop around a few of the most vulnerable places.
Tomorrow night is a class reunion with friends and fun and good food, must find something to wear..nothing like waiting until the last minute!
