Gardening 101

I've been busy.  No, really I have!  Started lots of plants from seeds with very good results.  However, turned out I had too much success resulting in lots of seedlings and not enough places to put them.  So I planted the heartier ones and have enjoyed watching them flourish.

I've had squash, and there are plenty more ripening.  I have two cantaloupe (YAY!) on the vine now.  I've dined on beans, and the cucumbers are taking over!

The strawberries I grew from plants and enjoyed those - what I could get to before the local critters that is.  I've enjoyed my raspberries...as have the coons or chipmunks or squirrel or rabbit.  But I have managed to get a few.  Yummy, LOVE raspberries!

What I've learned for next year - plant WAY more beans and far fewer squash.

The poor spinach - didn't get to them fast enough and they overgrew.  Well, more for the compost pile I guess.

So this is Gardening 101...for me anyway.
