This summer I decided to plant an organic mini pumpkin patch in the side garden. I used Burpee's Jack Be Little seeds:
This is what the pumpkin patch looks like so far:
I added the sun jars and still have to add these solar lights so the pumpkin patch with have an orange-y glow at night for autumn/Halloween.
A few other garden pictures...here's an awful picture of one of the trees I planted for Arbor Day this year. Only two out of six grew, but I was still happy because I didn't expect any of them to survive.
This is the adorable toad house I bought on Etsy from Teresa Wooden. I don't think there are any toads living in it yet, just spiderwebs, but I love it anyway:
This is the little square that was always mine growing up...I would weed it sometimes and stick a few seeds from fruit or vegetables in it and they would never grow. Mostly I would play with my toys in it. Now I guess all of the gardens are mine. I haven't decided what to put here yet; for now I just have the toad house and my heirloom tomato. I am about to move my alpine strawberry there too.
I'm sad that I seem to have lost the ability to take a decent photo over the past few years (the last time I was really into taking pictures was 2004; since then I've maybe taken 10 photos a year). Mostly it's laziness and impatience...I would much rather use the automatic settings, snap a quick picture, and move on to something else than take the time to get a really good shot. I am about to delve into the latest issue of Somerset Studio's Artful Blogging, though, so I hope that will inspire me.
