Was your garden fantastic this summer? Were you successful in growing groceries?
In a post on The Boomer Chronicles, Rhea, a Boston-based journalist, writes about “When Is Summer Over?”
She talks about her friend Ted, a 59-year-old boomer, who smashes pounds and pounds of tomatoes to can.
“Ted has a green thumb and makes the most of his garden patches,” Rhea said.
Let me know how your garden grew.
My gardening efforts weren’t as great as I had hoped.
The problem?
I didn’t get my garden area spaded.
I didn’t get my seeds planted.
My container garden didn’t produce as well as last year. I bought and planted my tomato plants too late. Slugs ate half of my half six zucchinis. My cucumbers are still struggling to get big.
Well, there’s always next year.
And, in the Pacific Northwest, some gardeners plant winter gardens. I may try one.
Tomorrow’s Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide will describe “What Do You Grow in a Winter Garden?”
