Despite having some failures in the garden this year like the pest infestation and my inability to grow squash, I feel this garden season has been a wonderful and successful one and as August ends and September rolls around, I have a sinking feeling I’ll have to say goodbye to the 2023 garden very soon. I can’t express gratitude enough for all that it’s given me from food to joy to admiration to other wonderful feelings. Therefore, I will dedicate this post to celebrate the garden. I hope you enjoy this photo gallery.
















I’d call your gardening this year a success! Lots of good vegetables, and I really like that rose bush out front. 🙂

I’m already looking forward to the next gardening season (is it too soon?), which I think it’ll be even better, particularly because I’ll have more experience.

Yeah, and my next year’s garden will be bigger since I’ll be expanding with 3 more raised beds.

Great-looking vegetables (and daylilies)! How do you keep animals out? I used to have a container garden but frankly, I had bird netting wrapped around the poles and flower pots nine ways to Sunday! I could barely water them. Besides that, I had to drag them around to follow the limited areas of sunlight that I have. My neighbors’ huge tree limbs hang down into my back yard and monopolize most of it.

Thank you.
Easy, I don’t have any animals. I haven’t had to protect my crop from birds this year. The only thing I have to protect against is the evil cabbage moth.
