The Green Thumb Project

*SIGH* Sadly, the gardening season is winding down. My gardens look a little sad now. Ran out of money to put more plants in, so just gots what I gots. This season has been very wet. My tomatoes made it, the peppers didn't (well, one hot pepper that just got tossed back in to seed itself for next year.) My cukes were sweet and thin skinned. All the herbs were beautiful, the flowers sweet smelling and plentiful, even now. One thing noticed- the orchard, (mostly apples, one pear and one peach tree) the grape arbors, the pesky bomb dropping black walnuts and the crab apples are all very well endowed with fruit and nuts. The wild berries are also prolific. The choke cherry's too. All the fruit, nut and berry bearers are telling us something. BAD WINTER AHEAD! The birds and animals have been feasting. Cool August, looking like a hot September. Seems to me I remember another year like this. We had 4 feet of snow. Got my Old Farmers Almanac. Look out kids. The Northeast is going to get clobbered. Noooo... I'm not chuckling with glee! Man, time for SS and I to stand on the town green and get stoned for loving storms and snow. *snickering*
