Crop or Flop
Registrace 13. 04. 2023
My first year of gardening in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I am a native South Dakotan, but lived "East River" all my life - - - until 2 years ago when my husband and I followed are dream to retire West River. Although we are not retired, we are on our way.
Even though I was raised on a farm, as part of a big family with a big garden, that was a lot of years ago, and . . . . . it's hard to say that gardening has changed?, but . . . it has changed! It seems more complex? I am taking a gardening class with my daughter and we have had a ton of fun , and havelearned a lot. I'm jumping in with both feet! There will be obstacles - clay soil, voles, deer, weather and a somewhat short growing season - but - with a little faith, and a lot of grace, we'll see if this gardening and landscaping adventure becomes a crop or a flop. Either way - living in God's country, I don't think anything can be less than a beautiful adventure.

In comparing this video to a video at a similar time last year, I’m finding that my tomatoes and peppers are further ahead, but my melons, cucumbers, and sunflowers are behind! Also, seeing the changes in my garden, and a few pests that I either did not know about, did not see, or have not dealt with before - I really feel a sense of accomplishment! Good, bad or indifferent, it is what it is!!...

Fall is lurking, and the garden is about spent!! I learned SO much, and I hope I taught someone else something also!! Now, to finish harvesting and then start amending and planning for next spring!
Sleeping Bees - - and documenting some good and some not as good decisions.

Voicing your lessons learned and how you can be better out loud seems to sink into my brain better than just thinking - I’ll remember that!?!? The heated dry weather is showing in the garden and landscaping. But I’m already planning next year’s garden!! How about you????
