Oh how a longed for an organic garden! To go right outside your door and pick the freshest vegetables and fruit.
This year I went for it! I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, pumpkins, watermelons, zucchini, squash, butternut squash, lettuces, basil and dill.
The jalapeno peppers are doing better than any of the other plants. Mostly because what bug in their right mind would eat a hot pepper. Worms are getting my collard greens and the birds and deer are getting my tomatoes. I won't mention the hourds of rabbits that descend upon the garden at dusk eating everything in sight. You would not be able to count them as they all skip away with full stomachs.
I never knew this was going to be so hard. I thought that I would plant a few seeds and out of the ground would sprout a bountiful garden that I would pick the freshest veggies and have them for dinner. I am starting a winter garden in the next two weeks. I have added a fence around the garden and mixed a rich organic compost with the dirt. I have also added a compost bin so that I could recycle my veggie scraps.
We shall see what will become of this organic garden. I hope things will get better.
