This is a tough time of the season for the backyard garden. I can’t tell you how many people have started off with a beautiful garden, come home from their week or two away on a summer vacation, to find their garden now overwhelmed with weeds and yucky looking plants. So many have thrown in the towel at this point. It’s to bad because there’s still a lot of good stuff in there that you worked hard on.
My only advice is to get that garden pristine before you leave, then it won’t be quite so bad when you return. Is it really worth it? Bite into a tomato from the store and then take a bite of a tomato from your garden. Yup, it’s worth it.
What’s your favorite home grown veggie? What do you like to make with what you’ve grown?
