I almost hate to see July end, it's been one of the most pleasant summer months EVER!! Sure we had a few 90+ degree days but they are long forgotten, it's felt more like early fall here with easy temps and rain plenty, if I"m dreaming, don't wake me!
With a chill in the air and cloudy skies over head, I was recharged over the weekend and set out to clean out my garden shed: aka my shabby shed that my handy man of a husband built me a few summers ago! It's always a work in progress but I love my happy place and it sure makes gardening easier having everything in order and in one place! The garden got out of hand due to my knee and then the rains, so we didn't plant alot this year and it was the right choice since a nasty bind weed has taken over the big bed twice now and that was wasted work, so it's getting covered and hopefully will kill off any and all weeds! I moved my toms and peppers to raised beds/boxes and they are doing great, so at least we will have a good supply of salsa and ketchup soon! My mint bed is growing fast and thick, no worries.....I keep it trimmed and sprinkle fresh mint in the chicken's coop, they love it and it's been keeping bugs at bay too, a win, win!!
July sure has spoiled us, no telling what August will bring, but I hope it continues to surprise me, in a good way! Here's hoping your summer isn't shabby either!
Your little shed is so cute and your garden is lovely
ReplyDeleteYour shed is adorable! Oh the mint....I put mine in pots this year and it's trying desperately to put it's little legs over and take over the garden anyway. :) I'm a sucker for it though - it gets away with a lot. It's amazing to think only a few months until Halloween and then {gulp} Christmas! My how time flies.
ReplyDeleteLove your Shabby Shed! We have truly been blessed with temps this Summer. Have a great week. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteJuly finally turned cooler this week but was too hot here...lots of weeds...glad to hear yours has been pleasant.
ReplyDeleteChill in the air? Jealous. . . .
ReplyDeleteCool shed. It sure is nice having a handy hubby. We have been busy working in the woods getting wood for winter.
ReplyDeleteHope your knee is healing. MB
It's been lovely. I adore your little shed.

Just stopping in to read and say Hello. I hope that the rest of your summer is fantastic as well. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your shed! Utterly adorable!
ReplyDeleteGirl I just adore looking at pics of and reading about your happyplace!!! ahhhh... -- I don't think I've ever heard of that weed you said took over a bed... maybe I'd know it if I saw it... but what a great idea to cover it up and tell those buggers to hit the road. I need to do that with one of my flower beds too. Been hearing of all the rain you've been getting. Let's hope Fall comes early this year and maybe it will be extra pretty with all the rain! Sure hope so!! Give Rugerboy my love.... L
