My 2024 Garden Season (wk. 7)

A seed's journey—week 7 update, Friday, July 5th. Sunflowers replace garlic, baby bunny eats too much and a mystery squash wilt. The Garden Fairy is in charge!

This old girl has been my Garden Fairy for many years.

We are away and the bunny will play…NO! Garden Fairy is in charge, grin.

We are at week 7, my fingers crossed that this means good luck for my little garden, while we are away. Feel free to catch the rest of the stories by clicking the Weekly Garden Update.

I believe it’s an incredible experience to watch a seed grow into something delicious to eat! God’s gift.

The following facts as I found them July 1-2.

July 1: As I gingerly bounce over, peaking through the fence, I am thrilled to see herbs growing well, carrots, kale and Swiss Chard all look healthy, big leaves on the squash, and then I spot the wilt, I sigh. Only one squash plant show signs of wilt, good. Could it be insects, could it be water? I look, no signs—so I move on down the rows, smiling as I notice more peppers, lots of tomatoes and then I hit the black beans. I pause, I look, I can’t quite figure it out—something is wrong, grin.
