Let's try this again

I said I was going to blog more.
That was in March.

Getting started is the hardest part right?
Okay, so a random thought post then,
ease the pressure off.

It's cloudy and humid today
which is not unlike most days this summer.
This rain and humidity has taken a toll
on Scott and I's garden.
Many nasty creatures thrive in this water.

Excessive earwigs eating everything, a few too many slugs,
and now early blight is plaguing our tomato plants.
This means that after this year we can't plant
tomatoes in our garden for three years
because it takes that long for
all the fungal spores to die.
How did we even get early blight?!

And oh the birds and squirrels
have been eating whatever they can.
I've planted beets twice.
The seeds get eaten the very next day.

We grew a gorgeous yellow zucchini plant.
It had flowers just getting ready to open.
When I came home from work last Saturday afternoon
a squirrel had chewed right through the entire main stem.

I'm stubborn and we've got five new zucchini sprouts
growing right now.

It could bring me to tears,
and it might
but not yet.

I'm thinking about spending some quality time
with one or two of my other hobbies,
maybe take my mind off of nature's wrath.

Who knows, maybe start blogging more.
And not always about my garden, promise.
