Now that Fall is here and Winter is sure to follow, I can't help but remember what a dismal gardening season this has been for me. Failed cucumbers, late blooming tomatoes, pumpkin seeds that did not sprout, and green bean vines that curled and swirled endlessly but still refused to yield even one bean.
I have, however, pondered, lamented and murmured long enough. To make myself feel better and to see if there is something I can do better next year, I've bought a couple of gardening books to read before Spring comes round again.
Fingers crossed.
