Wow I am really behind on posting these pictures considering I took them on August 20th and it's now September 17th and I'm only getting around to updating my blog now (and I started this post a week ago). Sadly my garden has not quite progressed the way I was hoping. And unfortunately in the past week I have really started neglecting the poor garden and it's gotten a bit dry. I think I started giving up on it since the summer is now over and it didn't exactly produce the results I was expecting.
Even though I didn't end up getting any vegetables I wouldn't consider it a total loss. One, I managed to keep the plants alive all summer, in what was one of the hottest summers on records, that alone speaks volumes. Two, I think I learned a lot from doing this. I def plan to do it again next summer since now I have all my containers and tools and it will be much less of an investment to do it again. I think my biggest problem was that I planted too many seeds in the tiny pots and it was overcrowded so while the plants grew, they couldn't reach their ultimate potential. I think I thinned them out too late.
Mike promised me that one day I will have my own real garden and it won't have to be in pots on the deck and I will have a beautiful vegetable garden in our backyard. And Rocky won't be confined to the deck and can have a whole big backyard to run around in. Until then I'll keep getting my practice in my little containers. I look forward to giving it another shot next year and hopefully getting some vegetables next time!
My only 'real' vegetable to grow - Little mini cucumbers!
