These sunflowers met their demise during a wind storm on July 13th. The same wind that took out every single dill plant in my garden. Blew them flat to the ground.
I think this was a tomato plant that got lost behind the rabbit cage and forgotten.I should have taken photos of the PILES of nasturtiums I pulled out by their roots this month. They had practically taken over the garden, providing hiding places for multitudes of earwigs and sow bugs, and taking up valuable real estate that could be used for growing stuff we'll actually eat. Or the marigolds I slaughtered because they grew to 4' in height, rather than the 2' it said on the seed packet.
We eat, therefor we garden.
I like your sign off mantra...

It's gotten stormy here... maybe we'll get some rain today! I hope!
Toni, Sarah Palin said "We eat, therefor we hunt." I don't really think most people, especially with her finances, need to hunt to eat. I much prefer to garden to eat.
ReplyDeleteYeah, my marigolds and nasturtiums are taking over too. I'm certainly planting a LOT less next year!
ReplyDeleteGranny, don't despair. Those flowers wouldn't have added to your total garden weight. They were superfluous.
ReplyDeleteI got a good laugh at the one in the red cup :) !!! We never know unless we try, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteMommyAmy, I'm going to be very particular about the type of marigold I plant next year!

Ribbit, Nasturtiums are EDIBLE! I should have weighed those suckers!

Erin, I just haven't figured out how that tomato plant got behind the bunny cage! Must have been one of those garden gnomes that did it.
I know what you mean about the photos that should have been taken. I would rip something out and throw it on the compost pile. Then the next day I would think, "dang, I forgot to save a photo for GBDD." Memory can be just as fickle as nature.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about taking out my nasturtiums as well. They are nice to look at but grow like weeds. The ones I planted in the top of the topsy's are looking horrendous as well, I should have photoed them on GBDD.
ReplyDeletePoor sunflowers & dill. But that tomato, me thinks, looks the saddest of them all...
ReplyDeleteThat is one UGLY tomato. Yes, it's time to bury him.........
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Granny - two of my favorite plants were your victims...sunflowers AND dill. How sad! I have never had dill last longer than a week, but I out to try it this winter when it's cooler and see if I have better luck. Your red cup plant was quite funny, but a bit tragic. That's one heckuva crime scene photo. Do you need a chalk outline around it? Thanks for participating in GBDD!
ReplyDeleteDaphne, Dan, Momma_S, and Sue, I hope next month your death toll is just small enough to participate in Kate's GBDD and not a bit larger.

Kate, thank you for giving us all something to share and laugh or cry about together. You made a bad thing fun!
