Garden Update - Giving Myself Grace | The Garden

In this video, I'm trying to give myself grace during this busy season of my life, and I think you should too.
Thank you for being here.

This spring, I just could NOT keep up with the weeds in the garden. It rained any time I had some spare time, work got busy, we went away to visit family, etc. The weeds literally got taller than my pepper plants.
It turned out fine. We used the weed-eater to trim around the plants, then mowed the rest. I didn't get out half the plants I wanted to, but my peppers thrived because they had shade while growing. My tomatoes have given us enough to eat fresh, and other gardeners shared extra for me to can. Things calmed down and I got a small fall crop out, and have been able to keep up with the weeds a bit better. And if it gets busy again, I'll do what I can and enjoy what I can.

We just did the same last weekend. Busted out the weed eater and lawn mower for the garden! I've been lucky this year as well to have a family member give us enough tomatoes to keep my pantry stocked up on. It just so happened that they were too busy to put up everything from their garden this year. It's kind of funny how life works that way sometimes. I'm so glad you were able to get some fresh eats and extra from friends!
