Ok, our garden is a mess. This is the first year we actually planted one, and with DH's schedule we didn't get a chance to mulch it. With my back problems, I haven't kept up on the weeding either. So, it's basically a jungle.
I can find the tomatoes, because the red stands out among the weeds, but the squash and cucumbers are lost. I can find some of the vines and a few weeks ago they had a ton of flowers on them. Aren't the flowers supposed to turn into squash? Or am I completely confused? This is actually my first garden and, being a city girl, I'm lost.
We also planted pumpkins along the woods line and that vine is thriving with lots of orange flowers but is also being over run with weeds.
One good thing, I found out some of the weeds are wild onions and wild garlic. I found out some of it was garlic after I cleaned one and took a big bite. I've used a 1/2 bottle of mouthwash so far, and suddenly am craving spaghetti!
