My tomatoes are also growing away... undisturbed by the voles (I don't think they like the smell... well at least I hope they don't).
Joseph and I are doing our vole research, and concocting a plan of attack for next year. I think I can safely say this growing season is a wash. Included in these plans are some gravel, higher beds, chicken wire, and some strategically placed guillotines. I'm praying my plants come out alive and fruitful next year. Here's one of the cantaloupes that bit the dust... *sob*
We found out we blew a fuse a couple weeks ago... the fuse that was hooked up to our drip system, and the right half of our lawn. Fantastic. We lost five plants, and my other 4 hydrangea plants are threatening, but I'm hoping this new growth means they're pushing through.
With everything going on in our household, Joseph has made the decision to hire a lawn guy, and I have decided to have someone "deep clean" our house twice a month... I'm already feeling a little more relaxed. Larry, the lawn guy, has informed us our lawn will be the best in the neighborhood within the month. Ahhh....

It's wonderful to have a garden! Your cucumbers look really yummie!! I hope you and your love one have more success with your garden next year! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to yoU!
I'm diligently planning my attack for next year...
Isn't that just the way? Despite your best efforts, gardens have a mind of their own. In Florida, we don't start our vegetable gardens until September or October. Hopefully, we'll get around to it this year. Sometimes we get too busy and we start it in January, which still works.
Suzanne, What do you plant in January?
