Well, there are good things and bad things, but the fact that you can have a garden full of so much life is rewarding. It's clear that you enjoy it a lot, and I hope better times are ahead for the flowers and those cucumbers. With all the love you give them, I know they will thrive.

I don't have a garden; I live in an apartment building and only take care of a small cactus. Not all types of plants grow here, but the ones that do stay green practically all year round, since we don't experience the different seasons like in northern countries. This is a constant tropical climate, ha ha ha. I really enjoyed reading your post, especially because of the love you have for gardening!
