Fall is approaching, and I am trying to put the garden to bed. It is bumming me out, big time.
Does anyone else get very sad and depressed at this chore? I spent all spring happily anticipating, and it was such a terrible summer for the garden--I started tomatoes indoors, and put them out at the right time, and got not one ripe tomato. I heard on the radio a guy saying that at his vineyard up here, 2/3 of the crop failed--he went through all the grapes that failed, and I remember hearing "pinot grigio and gewertztraminer" and kind of tuned out the rest.
I am looking up green tomato relish recipes but honestly, do I want to bother? I feel so cheated, so blah.
Our blue hubbard squash did great.
Oh well. I did get some daylily seeds from a some beautiful daylilies in Northport, from a bank--my husband kept saying, "those are the bank's daylilies, you know" and I said, "like they are going to harvest the seeds" and I am starting them indoors in the window. That would be satisfying.
Is anyone else suffering right now? And seed catalogues are not going to work for me, not this year.
