I can’t believe it’s been over a month since I have posted. I guess I’ve been too busy gardening to blog. Seriously, though, I have gotten in a decent amount of gardening this summer. The garden is doing pretty well, though my tomato plants look a little scary. I don’t think they have the blight, but I’m also not expecting a whole lot of tomatoes this year. I’m going to blame it on the weather since it’s been so cold. Everything else has been good, though. I got a lot of cukes again. I made some refrigerator dill pickles last month. They turned out pretty well. I’d like to make some freezer pickles again this year (though not as many as I made last year–that was a bit ridiculous).
We joined a CSA this summer so between it and my garden, we have been inundated with veggies. I guess this is not a bad thing. Things were particularly bad the week we went on vacation but we’re back to normal levels now.
The pond is doing well, too. We bought two tadpoles at the beginning of the year and, as expected, they turned into frogs. What was not expected is that they’re still hanging out in the pond. I’ll end with a great pic that Brian took last week. And, here I thought frogs only sat on lily pads in illustrations in children’s books…
