The Humbled Gardener
I’ve been watching a volunteer squash of some sort taken hold in my garden. I have been enjoying watching it sprawl all over the place with it’s big leaves. The other day I was out with my pruning shears pruning a little of this and a little of that. I thought hit me the maybe I will just tidy up the now quite large plant. It’s already the middle of August I thought, so why not prune out all but the largest of stems to see how big it would get. Snip. I had cut the damm one that I wanted to keep. After all these years of gardening I’m still learning by my mistakes.
Sandy,
I love what you’ve done here. Do you take your own pictures? I am a gardener in theory, not practice. This is a beautiful site.
Sandy, I think I have fallen in love with a simple curl! Don’t know what it is about this picture but I love that curl! Your coneflower (?) from the last post is wonderfully crisp too.
I’m sorry, but I laughed when I read what you’d done. I would do something like that
Volunteer plants are always interesting and I really like the curly, twisty thing on this one.
If it makes you feel any better, Sandy, I cut the wrong vine last week on my watermelon. Sad, because they don’t produce that many good melons anyway. Oh well…
I love this photo. You’re such a talented photographer!
