Overgrown garden

I was gone for 3 weeks due to a family emergency. Here's what I came home to.
Everything got watered three times and my neighbor shot some water over the fence from his yard. I just don't think it was watered deeply enough, plus that is a lot of bulk to be top watering and that is what was done.

All four boxes














Note: There are four individual boxes there and I could only walk through Box 1 and 2! The lettuce bolted but I expected that because it is August. I lost snow peas, sugar snap peas, bush beans and my tomatoes are sprawled everywhere...i mean all over the ground. I tried picking up the maters but was too afraid to break them!

Box 1: Strawberries



Box 2: Lettuce, carrots, snow peas, cukes


Box 3: Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas


Box 4: Zucchini, cukes, tomatoes, snow
peas, bush beans, K's sunflower

I had to rip most of it out. I will update next week with pics since I am headed back out of town. That sucks about the garden but this year was a learning "Humboldt County gardening plus square foot gardening year" now I know what to do and maily know what NOT to do. LOL

A cute card (if I do say so myself) I made for my lil sis's baby shower. I can't believe she is going to be having a baby. We are 12 years apart so I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Sniff. Sniff. Back to the card. Just a rectangle of fabric sewn onto cardstock folded in half with random stitch. Bought a prefab material scrapbooking tag and sewed it on like a pocket and then slipped in another pull out tag with the saying " A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as his legs increase". My little sis has been known in the family as being the angel God sent our family. So I felt that it was only fitting that our little angel is having another little angel. Oh and the buttons and ribbons are hand sewn on. It was really a lot quicker than one might think.
