Let"s Talk About The Garden

Today, I would like to bore you with the details about this years garden.

My gardens are usually picturesque, filled with the flowers, produce and lots of herbs.

I have been known to brag about my green thumb and share some of the over abundance it produces.

However this year...different story.

I have never planted mint, I have heard mint will take over your garden.

I am here to tell you that basil can also do that.

One tiny plant, turned into this...

I planted 2, here they are in their infancy.

I have these lovely garden markers but this year all I really needed was a marker for my basil.

I have so much basil, I could supply all of New Jersey with it.

So day after day, I cut it back...

rinse it, soak it...

then lay it out to dry.

I've done this 5 times and still there's more.

 - these leaves are huge -

I did not get one tomato, not one.

We watered every day, fertilized at the right intervals, talked to them and still, they did nothing!

I have a total of 5 bags like this, all in the freezer, with lots more to process.

The pot on the right is a beautiful tomato plant that got huge and produced 2 green tomatoes.

Both disappeared.

Next up...a photo dump of pictures I took at various times during the summer, but never shared here.
