Post #6991714

I need some words of widsom (and maybe some encouragement as well)... I am bored, bored, bored with squash, squash, squash... I have been eating it, freezing it, donating it, etc... I finally pulled it all out last night. (Three plants). I am also making tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato donations, tomato salads... I won't pull out the two tomatoes, but am harvesting 4-5 pounds a day, E-V-E-R-Y day. And they should both continue to fruit for another month or so...

So, dear gardeners: do you get bored, too? Do you ever find yourselves just wanting to be done already so you can move on to the next thing? (Broccoli! Brussels Sprouts! Cabbage! Radishes! Carrots!)

I am grateful that I have good soil, and things are going well. This grumpy phase has taught me that I need fewer of each thing and more variety... and a shorter harvesting season is probably a good idea as well.

Am I normal? Am I just not cut out to be a gardener?

Any support would sure be appreciated...

Thanks, oh wise ones...
