Way Pathetic!

So this is my Garden, if you can call it that. My neighbor and I went to the store and went to other neighbors to get all the tips and tricks. we decided the put the stuff in my garden that would spread out because I have so much space. After a long day of planting just after Mother's Day, things started growing quite well. The sunflowers are doing the best but most of the stuff was just for fun anyway, like the three rows of corn and the pumpkins. The weekend before Father's Day, Travis and I spent several hours out there weeding and using the rake thing to make it all look nice and this is what I got three weeks later. More weeds than food! If you look close, my three rows of corn are there but there are only 14 stocks of corn way spread out in all 3 of the rows. I planted 8 mounds of pumpkin seeds and only three are growing. The carrots are sparse and so are the onions. The broccoli is looking good and so is the zucchini and the spaghetti squash, but there are a TON of weeds that WANT to be there. I just hope that this summer isn't the summer that we need to live off our garden, we would all be good canadates for Survivor if that's the case. Maybe it will look like a more productive garden once the weeds are gone. Wish me luck!

My garden is more pathetic than yours. Oh wait... I don't have one. ;) So yeah, it's more pathetic than yours.

Want some help weeding this weekend?

Hey, we gotta start somewhere...& perhaps you can work those weeds into some kind of food storage magic?

At least you planted a garden! If we have to live off the land, it will be sagebrush tea for us!
