2010 garden

My garden isn't much of a garden this year. I had planned on growing all of my veggies and tomatoes at the Rancho, but the jackrabbits had other ideas. They decimated my watermelons, my peppers and my sunflowers. Left me nothing but nubbins and dirt. Happy dirt, ready to grow things, but dirt, none-the-less.

I hadn't started any veggies at the city house because of underground bees. Big, honkin' bees that were like bumble bees on steriods who attacked from below. Each time I tried to pull out the bermuda grass to give my seedlings a chance, the bees would attack. They would attack not only me, but they went after Howl as well. But finally, they seemed to have left the area and I was able to plant the 2 melon seedlings and 2 pepper seedlings that were left over from the bunny invasion. one of the melons is even producing flowers, how sweet is that? She must be pleased that she wasn't eaten early, and is offering up beauty in exchange.














I think the peppers are just happy to be alive..
