that’s a LOT of rain!

so I guess that’s my first tip: tend to the garden every day….
I LOOK at it every day – does that count?

Your deck is certainly progressing and looking good. Sorry to hear of your rains. Strange weather happenings all over it seems. Sunny skies coming your way!

Karson, how did the garden do this year? Were you able to fill in the low spots?

I only planted 3 tomato plants and a few zucinni plants. I’ll probably get the bigger garden going next year.

That’s the thing with gardeners. We always have aspirations for “next year”. Often they work out well.

How were your tomatoes and Zucchinis?

My wife eats tomatoes and she would probably wanted to have more. We both eat zucinni and we would liked to have more. There were no bee’s in the area so i had to polinate by hand and I wasn’t as good at it as the bees have been.

The bee’s have disappeared from the front yard. We used to have hundreds at the clover plants in the grass and now there are none.

I’ve heard that that is one of the factors in the declining bee population—loss of clover in people’s yards. Hello perfectly groomed lawns: good-bye bees

My yard is a perfect place for bees, Half is clover/ I had a lawn service stop by and say that we can get rid of all that clover and I told him then I wouldn’t have any yard at all. No thanks.

I’d prefer to have ALL of my yard in clover! Smells nice; looks nice and doesn’t grow too tall.

Hello Karson,
Just wanted to say hello to someone who lives near where I grew up and lived for 40 years! I grew up in Salisbury, Grandparents lived in Delmar,DE (have family in Seaford and Dover, too), and then my dh & I lived in Delmar,DE for about 12 years. That’s where we had our one and only daughter, too! Now I live in northern Harford county, about 2 miles south of PA. Very different gardening up here than down on the Shore. :-)

Merry Christmas to you!
