Surprisingly, I still have zucchini coming and there has been some re-growth since the hail storm. The marigolds that I transplanted in pots in the back look good but not the ones in the blue boxes.
I have been going through pictures from the past and wow, I had great impatiens in the boxes and also near the house. Last Saturday I did some clearing out of the garden which is more a mess than a garden. I need to pull all the mint out and other ugly ground cover but that is going to take lots of work and time. The soil is like rocks. I've neglected it too long. I need a big shovel or something and lot of new soil.
The squirrels continue to torment me. I find peanuts all over. Makes me so made that neighbor feeds them.
Sometimes I just want to move and be done with it all.
But the only encouraging thing has been the dahlias. And Linda let me having tomatoes and cucumbers so I have some sauce and pickles. Well, I did get a few pickle-worthy cucumbers from my garden but most were awful.
We are leaving for CA on Oct 14 and a frost is coming so the end is near.
