Ah, M, good to see you back. I’m so glad you took a well deserved break though, your Inktober marathon was inspiring but dang!

All of your produce pictures ares so glorious, and I always love it when you share garden stuff with us because I adore it all.

And you are so right about it being a labor of love. I’m truly sorry about the cabbage carnage, I would love to plop a fresh pile of cow fecal matter in a mischievous place for that neighbor to step in.

Your lessons learned hit close to home for me, one unseasonably warm year I had an extra patch of tomatoes (48 plants) that I had nurtured into greatness, they were just hitting peak ripeness when our steer broke out of his pen and ate every single vine, fruit and all. We had the last laugh cause we ate him:)

I loved everything about this post, especially the last paragraph. I’ll be right there with ya, gardening as a grey hair too!
