Truly Humbled You want actual humility? Try realizing, halfway through the summer, that there’s a very good reason you never blogged before: you have nothing interesting to say. Here I am, tapping away… and even…

Those tomatoes won't prune themselves, though.

Casualties of Garden Warfare The aphids feasted, the ladybugs ghosted, and the nasturtium gave up the ghost. It might be time to pull the trap plants and face the fallout. Here’s hoping the tomatoes hang on.

So much for the ladybugs. The nasturtium took one for the team… and then some. I wanted the trap plant theory to work, but I might have created a buffet. Tomorrow: clear the patch and hope the tomatoes hold up.
