News from the garden: Before & After

The discovery of the septoria fungus our tomato plants has been really disheartening. But when we looked at the bigger picture, it has been a wonderful learning experience so far. I don't think I am in a position to complain when I see what Mother Earth has so generously given.

Lots of flowers, but please give us some eggplants soon!
See the bee in action? *like*

And I love that there has been so much generous sharing all around. We swap vegetables with our neighbours and friends. I think we might be eating zucchini all season because everyone is harvesting bunches!

Thank you, Mother Earth!

  1. Zucchini is so awesome! I just made a summer lasagna over the weekend using zucchini. Here's the link in case you want to make it! http://www.marthastewart.com/334102/no-bake-summer-lasagna

  3. It's great you can swap veggies with your neighbors, making sure everyone gets a share of good food! I'm growing plants in containers and I'm kind of disheartened myself at how a strawberry plant just died because it was likely infected with something or maybe I over-watered and it got sick from that. But still, it is a good learning experience anyway.
