The Garden in July (and early August)
Aug. 14th, 2018 07:01 pmI have a fat nasty blister in the palm of my right hand (of all stupid places!) so I can't keep on digging. And besides, it's finally a rainy day! Time to sort through the pictures of the past month and, instead of digging in the garden... picspamming about the garden, yay!
Some before/after shots of thecomplete and utter chaos veggie garden at the beginning of July, and at the beginning of August, after a month of drought. (Note that our region at least had a very fine spring; others are less lucky...)
It's not supposed to look like that! The beans in particular are a shocker. I specifically chose a type of runner bean that "brings good yield even in wet summers" because summers in our region are typically wet. Of course, they didn't like this summer at all. That's what I get for making rational decisions when buying seeds! Usually I'm like "eee these beans are called Vermont Yellow Eye! like Vermont where![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dawn_felagund lives! we can be sisters in beans!" or "lol these chickpeas are called Tulliola? MUST HAVE" and to be honest, neither of these irrational choices have disappointed me so far.
But let's focus on the postives and have some nice pics instead. Most of them were taken in early to mid-July, before it got so bad)...
( under the cut, though, to spare your f-lists! )
