If we had all just given it half an effort, we'd have nobody to blame but ourselves. But when we literally put so much blood, sweat (a LOT of sweat) and tears (if not those then swear words) into the garden and get not nearly enough reward, it IS frustrating to the nth degree. I guess we can just be thankful we aren't our forefathers who would probably be more than a little hungry during the winter with such poor harvests. Next year! That's the gardening mantra. Next year!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-62213428207710608352012-09-10T16:31:47.151-05:002012-09-10T16:31:47.151-05:00I soooo know how you feel.

But all you can do is have a little wine and a lot of hope. By next spring we are all so anxious to get back out in that garden we forget all this bad crap. Good thing too, or there would be a LOT less gardeners :)Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-76091252383533817882012-09-10T13:47:43.300-05:002012-09-10T13:47:43.300-05:00Oh Katie, I am so sorry the garden didn't prod...Oh Katie, I am so sorry the garden didn't produce as well as you had hoped. Like you said though, you did learn from it and that is what is important. I know it doesn't offer any consolation but you know that you need raised beds next year so that is a start...and I bet you might not have lost any weight off the butt but I bet it is firmer!

Right now, the only thing I have that will produce anything is my ginger plant. Everything else either I harvested, or it tried to develop and just died (because of the weather). My entire garden has been cleared out and is now ready for spring to come around again. I've given up on a fall garden.Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-67418314485320919392012-09-10T10:23:35.230-05:002012-09-10T10:23:35.230-05:00Hi Katie

But, through all of it, I've learned there's good years and bad years and it all evens out somehow. Mostly, I just enjoy the time spent outdoors listening to the birds and watching things. It's kind of my peaceful ME time.<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-785507893078357495.post-54172281135667682592012-09-10T08:42:09.881-05:002012-09-10T08:42:09.881-05:00Katie,
Sorry to hear about your struggles, I too ...Katie,<br /><br />Sorry to hear about your struggles, I too seem to struggle with most things these days; lost my entire group of chickens to a predator, lost my new hive of bees, new chickens got sick, and am now late in planing for the fall season of growing. But I do keep trying. It makes me appreciate our foremothers/fathers and all they went through.Izzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07750628123685151713noreply@blogger.com
