In the Garden Newsletter: Pumpkin Vines are History, Butterfly Garden Plants, & One Mysterious Visitor
In Our Garden
I warned them. Told them straight up. If you guys don’t put on some pumpkins, you’re outta here! And after fighting off squash vine borers, squash bugs, and powdery mildew, they still refused to do anything but grow more vines. The little fruits would form but never mature. So, out they came, and the remains were incinerated.
We don’t have good photos of our pumpkin fruits, but the same thing that happened to some of our squash, happened to our pumpkins.
What’s Happening in Your Garden
That’s our report, folks. Our big lesson is not to ask so much of our plants when we know better where to plant them. How about your week? We’d be delighted to hear what’s happening in you neck of the garden. You can post comments and/or photos up on our Facebook page, or send us an email.
In the meanwhile . . .
May your gardens flourish and your harvests be bountiful, and when you look upon your little Eden, may you see that it is good.
