high and low

today was not a good day in the life of my garden

i returned home from work to find that a great number of my plants had been violated by some animal looking for a snack.


who would have thought that the sight of my pea/tomato/parsley/zucchini and squash plants with missing limbs would actually leave me with an aching in the pit of my stomach.










i guess you could say i've grown attached to my garden.













on a positive note, one of the pepper plants showed its first blossom and one of the tomato plants revealed a small green tomato which i hope to one day eat

growth spurt

i went out of town for the weekend and when i returned i was excited to see the peas, zucchini and squash all nearly double in the span of just two days.

i also found that there were nearly as many young maple trees as there were young carrots

over the weekend i got to take a look at the garden that my friend brendan had planted at his mother's house. now, brendan is pretty knowledgable when it comes to growing vegetables and he had done a much better job spacing the vegetables in his garden.

my fear is that i tried to cram too many plants in too small of an area.
