In the vegetable garden, I am enlarging it a little, so I can hopefully accommodate watermelons next year. I am picking off the flowers of the plants and tiny tomatoes and peppers that will not have time to grow before it gets too cold, so that the plants will put energy into making tomatoes they have on them bigger. I have been cutting down the bush that grew out of the tree Dad cut down last spring until the branches get to thick for my pruners. I have been finding the last of the onions that have hid beneath the tree and the carrots that have been hiding from my shovel.
In the flower garden I have been cutting down the lavender that has been killing all plants around it by suffocation. I planted it when I was just beginning to garden and did not bother to look at the size it would get to be. Its large pal Lamb’s Ear that got planted by the same mistake went last year. I thought it would be pretty, but even that failed me. To many leaves for the amount of flowers it has given me in three years!
