Sprig's Summer Gardening

[SprigOfTheLivingDead]

Sooo.... it's been a horrid drought this year where I am so I essentially gave my garden up for dead since I don't have the time to tend to it along with everything else that I'm trying to keep alive. However, we got some good rain the past two weeks and on a whim I checked the garden for stuff to toss over the fence to the chickens and founds these lovely items in my Cucumber tunnels


My beer (I'm a sorority girl, deal with it) for scale

Those are gorgeous, what variety are they? Poona Kheera?

Sikkim, or as my kids call them "dinosaur eggs"

So I made a tough but ultimately necessary and worthwhile decision: I'm selling my grow tent and all the trimmings with it. I haven't really used it this winter or last, so it's taking up a ton of space and I could really utilize that for something better. What would be better? Why nothing else than a Rogue Echo bike because I want to hate myself and not just hate my buddy, who is a strength and conditioning coach, when I go to his gym and he makes me get on his :/

Anyways, it's a bittersweet situation. I am not using it, so I should get it in the hands of someone that will. That being said I thought it'd sell fast but it's just been sitting out there on CL and FB Marketplace for almost a week now, which is a bit weird :/

Best of intentions, right? I planted all my corn, cucumbers, sunflowers, watermelons and tomatos in the hopes of a glorious garden. Here's my corn rows


But then I got pulled into the full season of softball for two of my girls, even coaching for one of the teams. This meant a good 6 days a week at games or tournaments, so my garden was left to its own devices and I guess I'm growing thistle now *shrug*



I'm also going through a divorce, so there's a lot of everything that goes with that. Guess I should pick up a new hobby like making jewelry or something to get my life on track

when it gets so hot that you don't tolerate being outside much it is good to have some kind of indoor activity that keeps you out of further trouble.
