    At Least We’ve Got the Onions

    We are not having a good gardening season so far. The odds are stacked against us: the fickle weather, the ravaging dog, the lack of gardening skill and prowess.

    We tried to cover things to protect them from the cold snow yesterday. But our dog, Haus, managed to knock down the wire cages and thus heavy, limp towels landed on the plants. I know I’m no green thumb, but I can’t imagine that’s good for them.

    Plus he deliberately dug a bunch of dirt out of the tomato box.

    Oi vey. At least we’ve got the onions, carrots, peas, radishes, and wild flowers.

    Another S.O.S.

    It’s snowing today. Sheesh. It’s May 13 and it’s snowing. We have officially passed the 6-month mark for winter. Help!

    We covered everything last night with tarps and sheets. But many of our plants are pretty much dead. Bye, bye tomatoes. And bell peppers.

    Gardening is very difficulty for me, indeed.

    Very Tricky Business

    Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! I am so bad at this gardening thing. Why do I have to like it so much?

    Our tomato plants are dying. Is it the fact that I planted them before Mother’s Day (a no-no in Colorado)? Or is it because 6-inches is not deep enough for such a massive root ball? Or is it because we put too many coffee grinds around the base of the plants?

    Gardening is very tricky business.
