I did manage to get a few fall crops planted around mid month: red and green cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. Unfortunately it was bad timing as we were headed out to the coast to spend the week in a beach house. I was so nervous about leaving them in the heat that I left the starter cups on the south side of the seedlings full of water to both cast shade and keep them a little damp while we were gone since no one would be around to take care of them. As it turned out, they were fine! (Whew~)
Today I'm going to try to get a few more fall crops in the ground: carrots, kale, lettuce.
And one of the flowers blooming now in the garden.
I'll try to make a big post here and catch you up on everything very soon... life's just been busy lately. I'm still gardening even if I'm not writing about it.

'Bout time ;-)
Glad to see you blogging again! Since school has begun again, I think everyone has been pretty busy. I can't wait to see how the garden is doing...
I was just wondering this morning if you'd given up on your blog. Glad to see your still around. Your flower (Dahlia?) is gorgeous!
The flower is beautiful! I keep threatening to plant for fall and winter but it's still been so dang HOT here I can't get myself to go out there and actually WORK!
It is a busy time! That cup trick was pretty clever.
Woohoo! I can't wait to hear more.
I was just wondering where you'd got to the other day! Haha, you know you're addicted to the garden when you can;t go on vacation without worrying about your 'babies'!
Glad to hear all is well.
Granny, Yes it is. Still not in the swing of things - I'm just now looking at comments from a week ago! Yikes.
EG, I love that my daughter is finally just starting preschool. Heaven knows I need the break.
Sue, Still here! Even if I'm a bit slow.
Michelle, Thank you. Hope you got out and planted some fall crops. Our weather really turned this week. It sure feels like fall is here already!
Stefaneener, thanks - I think I get lucky sometimes. I was so worried about them keeling over!
Ribbit, I hope to oblige.
Joanne, I feel off the edge of the earth for a while but hopefully I'm back now. Oh!
