How did your garden grow this year?

At the beginning of the season, we had a lot of cold days and frost alerts, so my garden was slow to really start growing. Right now it's in the thriving stage and I'm getting a lot of zucchini and squash every day. I've grated some of the zucchini and put it in a ziplock bag in the freezer so I can make zucchini bread with it this fall/winter. I'll be putting more in the freezer soon enough. We have about 12 yellow crookneck squashes on the counter, and I'm tired of cooking it every day.

What did your garden grow? And how did it do?

At the moment, with how my back garden is I do not have any spots to plant flowers or anything else that I would like to grow. In my front garden though, we do have an area in the corner that I would like to fill with some flowers and I was hoping to do it this year but due to the weather, had not been able to get to doing it.

Unfortunately, we had an incident where kids when they were playing outside, had taken a lot of grass that had been cut and thrown it into my front garden, of course, that just meant that grass took over and I have had to keep on top of it. I am now hoping to get something to lay over the grass area and then place decorative stones there so that we have that area with an area for flowers as well.

You could put black plastic sheeting over the area for a while to prevent weeds and grass from growing there?

That is the plan 🙂 I am hoping to be able to get some very soon and then place it over the area and secure it down so that it can not get stolen and then get decorative stone for it. We used to have some and one morning I woke up and it had gone. You will be surprised at what people will steal to sell, it's shocking.

Sounds like where I used to live! I live in the country now and people leave their garage doors open all night!! I can't fathom that type of trust in mankind LOL

I have a bunch of pomegranates coming in right now. They should be ready mid September.

I've never seen a pomegranate plant! How are they grown?
