My Annual and Veggie Garden |
(Original Images and Text, Copyright (c) 2011 Cynthia Shenette) One of the reasons I didn't blog much over the summer was that I was busy pulling weeds. Does anyone have a really good recipe for salsa using cherry tomatoes and jalapeno peppers, by the way?

Well I'm impressed! Beautiful gardens and lovely pictures of them. I can see how your time was taken up with weed pulling. You are much more the gardener than I am!
Beautiful! This was the first year I didn't have a garden. In fact we tore them out and will be replacing them once we come up with a new design. I like yours with the small beds.
Wow, what a gorgeous garden you have! I can see how that would take up a lot of your time, but it's all worth it in the end. How lovely! Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh, my, how lovely. I did not do a lot of anything this year in the garden, cept kill a few weeds. I missed almost all of my flowers except for coneflowers. I even lost a few plants while we were gone. Your gardens and flowers are lovely! JUST LOVELY!
What a beautiful, well-kept garden. I love the variety of flowers you have. We gardened some this summer, but it's getting ahead of us now; still, I hope to take a few days off to get everything in shape.
Thank you all for your comments!
Jasia - Quite the compliment from someone who takes such great pictures and has the most beautiful roses.
Michelle - I'm sure you will get back to your garden as time allows. I will say, I love the small beds. A family friend made nine of the raised boxes for me out of plywood, and they are much easier to maintain than planting directly in the ground.
J. - It does take a lot of time over the summer. Let's just say my house doesn't look quite as good when I'm spending that much time outside. ;)
Carol - I'm sure you'll get back to your garden next year! The same thing happened to me last year. We were away for a month, and I came home to a weedy disaster! I spent half of June and July this year still trying to reclaim order.
Greta - Thank you so much for your compliment! My husband and I spent all day Saturday working outside trying to get things in order for fall. I loved your garden post a while back. I've always been a little intimidated by the care fruit trees involve though. Sounds like you were more than successful.
Fabulous garden! I'm not precisely jealous, because I have no interest in working that hard - or perhaps I'm jealous of your ability to work that hard... Regardless, I am grateful you took the time to share this with us. A joy to look at.
Wow! Just gorgeous! No kidding cheaper than therapy - and cheaper than being a shopaholic too (well -- as one writer wrote: "I brake for plants." Soon must say farewell to my garden here in Chicago area.
I'm so glad you mentioned your pictures today...I love your cottage garden. You have a right to be proud. Thanks for sharing.
