Wow I disappeared off the face of the blog world there for a while huh? Nearly 5 months with no posts, sheesh! Well the bad news is that my war with critters went on for a while and I lost :( The squrrels have taken over a large part of the garden. They ate almost all the Summer crops! I did manage to get some tomatoes though, but the eggplant, melon and cucumber plants got eaten before they could even flower, they never stood a chance! Ah well. From what I hear lots of people had a bad growing season so chalk it up to experience and move on.
September I got flu pretty bad and was laid up for about 2 weeks, then a few weeks recovery after that! Yeah it kinda threw me for a loop for sure.
October I got busy with work projects and other stuff, especially so fitness as I requalified as a personal trainer and fitness instructor so I was working on my own fitness levels and getting myself in peak physical condition.
November we went for our first boondocking experience in our RV over thanksgiving! Fun times! I think the thrill of the RV researching, looking, and buying went on throughout Sept & October too so we were busy with the whole "research" phase then
And so to December! I've missed the start of the winter growing season, so no long term crops. I do have about 4 months though until I need to think about growing Summer crops again so I figure I have time for lettuce and peas for winter crops, plus some all round crops like beets, onions etc. I am making a commitment to update this blog at least 3x a week in the New Year and I plan on getting back out in the garden very soon! Wish me luck that the squirrels and other critters move out over the winter and find some other garden to snack on!
