What a difference 28 days makes

Question: how long does it take to go from verdant garden

to overgrown weedpatch?

Vegetable garden, September 2006

Answer: about 28 days.

As promised my late summer garden skills (read: lazy) have ushered all of the gardens’ quick decent from lush landscapes to overgrown, weedy jungles. The worst part is that I do the same thing every year. I get a great start in March and things are absolutely gorgeous by June. Then I get sort of lazy and tired in July and August (it is hot, after all), and by September the whole thing has decayed into a weedy mess which I won’t do anything about until the following March.

Ah well…
