Why you shouldn't leave for two weeks

Well it's been a crazy week. We're just barely adjusting back to east coast time and had another full weekend. Didn't even touch the gardens last weekend other than to take note of what was going on, and the grass got mowed. I spent the day unpacking and doing laundry. Oh and of course taking stock of my in door plants. A couple aren't happy, but not too bad. Lost one banana that wasn't doing great before we left, but that was about it. I think the biggest lose was 5 of my lemons. The other two though are doing great and are getting big.

The yard was a mess. I swear we must have had perfect growing weather while we were gone. Lesson learned traveling in may in the middle of planting time is not a good idea. At least with the new veggie garden I got through about 130 square feet in about an hour after nothing for almost THREE weeks. That's crazy. Now I just need to get through the rest of it and get my butt in gear. I've already gotten most of the plants that I had to buy because I lost mine or they just wouldn't grow. Next year I'll again. In the mean time I'm going to try really hard to catch up and attempt to salvage this year.

Mother nature waits for no one.
