This year our garden was a bit neglected. We had a great start, but the weeds won the battle. With a summer filled with fairs, festivals, trips, camps, kids activities and a new job – time was not on our side. However, even though the garden plants had to fight the weeds, we had a harvest, just smaller than usual. Basically, enough of a harvest between our fruit and vegetables to keep us eating from the land for most of summer (and the growing season isn’t really over yet.) What we didn’t get was extra. Therefore, we won’t have much in the way of preserving to do for the fall and winter. Maybe next year…
