Goodbye Garden…

And good riddance!!!

Today was supposed to be the last dry day for a while so I figured it was time to say goodbye.

It’s organic by neglect. (I heard that once and liked it a lot!)

I am so glad that 2009, and not 2010, was my first year for gardening. If this had been my first time I’m not sure I would ever do it again.

My tomato plants now resemble something that one would find in the Addams Family garden.

 

.The pepper plants FINALLY decided to produce some peppers.

The pole beans decided to take another go at it.

And the only thing my corn produced was the little sugar pumpkin.

The goal for next year is to have a little less grass and a few less weeds in the garden. And also to not have enough clay to start my own pottery business.

So we took the sand that was under the pool (we’re selling the pool, by the way…) and move it to behind the garden to be tilled in this Spring. Thanks Andy and Will!

Then we pulled everything up, took down all the fencing, and loaded everything to the compost heap out back.

After it all gets turned over, we’ll cover it with the tarp from under the pool and hope for the best…

the last of the 2010 harvest 

I wonder if the old pool spot gets enough sun for a second garden??? I’ve always thought a round garden would be cute!!!
