The Ungarden

Aug

I admire, envy, even stalk other people’s neat and tidy gardens, but there is something comforting and relaxing about a garden that isn’t that orderly. Our garden takes its shoes off, lets its hair down, and says, don’t worry, be happy!

    Just my kind of living! Remember, there are people who only live to garden…you live to do sooooo many other things!

    My garden is a jungle, but I still bring home the veggies.

    I have both. My new garden and orchard is a long open rectangle that I can mow around and the rows are far enough apart I can till down the weeds.

    The backyard kitchen garden is a veritable jungles where you have to duck under fruit trees, walk around a cattle panel hoophouse, duck the briers of the blackberries and raspberries and just let the weeds go.

    I have to confess I like the new, neat one better!

    Let sleeping garden lie- just plunder them for veggies!
    Besides, you have baby goats to distract you. 🙂

    I usually have a neat and tidy garden but this year I don’t know what happened. Too many vine plants and too busy with the horses I think. If you notice on my blog I’ve stopped taking pics of the whole mess, just little parts of a plant or two!!

    I have both too! My lasagna garden is neat and tidy. The vegetable gardens are a mess but they still grow veggies! If I can get the cardboard I am going to make more lasagna gardens!

    Suzanne like you I greatly admire a neat and tidy garden but also like you my garden likes to let its hair down and just relax. I just love my garden like that it is a great reflection of how I like to live. I try not to get hung up on perfection as we are all perfect in our own ways. Oh HAPPY days!!!

    My garden started out neat and tidy and steadily went downhill from there. I even have the tomatoes in Grow boxes and the potatoes in Grow pots. You’d think it would be easy to keep up with. Other than putting up a chicken wire trellis for the tomatoes, everything just kind of “hung out” of the containers. The potatoes plants are turning yellow and look like they were hit by a tornado. Only my parsley sits there all prim and proper and neat. Hmmph! There’s always one in the bunch!

    It’s so hot here (Mobile, AL) that we plowed our garden under about a week ago and we plan to plant again in a couple of weeks. This is our first year so I guess I will learn but apparently here you plant in February to harvest in May/June and in August to harvest in November???
