the Parsons garden

For those of you who trekked out to the empty lots in Parsons and envisioned with me how a garden might look if there was one... these pictures are for you! Taken in mid August, this was how things looked at what turned out to be pretty much the end of the summer growing season, stopped in it's tracks due to very hot, dry weather, even though committed gardeners continued to water... :)

how my garden grows

These are two pictures of my fall garden, mustard greens, onions, lettuce, radishes and I have a third bed that also has carrots planted... O'donna is taking the K-state master gardening course starting on Friday... I'm no expert, but I have completely enjoyed gardening in Parsons and at the farm. Tonight I'm freezing apples with the intention of making apple butter later.

Lucky dog

So she's a lucky dog and I think she knows it. Ginger thinks she's an invader from a distant galaxy and Julie just loves her 'cause she'll go out with her at night... Seems low expectations may offer unexpected rewards. Here's Dolly!
