Every day I have to re-route the pumpkin, birdhouse gourd and ornamental gourd vines out to the yard. They seem to really like the tomato plants and threaten to take them hostage on a daily basis. I’m not sure WHAT on earth I was thinking when I planted these unruly plants — but I’m pretty sure I will be loving that I did when September and October roll around.
Meanwhile…the basil suffers from a blight, the cilantro has grown 3 feet tall, the green bell peppers — they are stuck in a miniature state — and the beans have been eaten by something, and all my best efforts for beautiful rows of neatly planted vegetables have been thwarted.
Next year … possibly a separate spot for the tomatoes and pepper varieties, herbs, etc. Then again, I wonder how much cashola all those pumpkins and gourds could bring in?
