Been Away

When I get home today, I will not have seen my garden for a week. I can't wait to see how much everything has grown. It is exciting on a day to day basis, but when you have not been there to watch the day to day growth it can be overwhelming.

I like to gently move the leaves to see the progress as the tiny fruits start to grow. It always reminds me of one of the last gardens I had when we lived in our first house in Dunwoody. The garden was rather sophisticated because I used old and new methods. I had planted everything in black plastic so that weeding was a thing of the past. I had a drip irrigation system so that water was not wasted and the plants loved the constant source of water.

Now, squash just love water. My squash stood almost five feet high and I would go out in the morning for a quick check and see a little tiny Zucchini. When I went back later that day it was gone and in its place was a full grown fruit. I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the little one and then I realized it had grown that day. Absolutely amazing!!!!
