The truth is…

I almost always mess up on whatever it is I am working on.

And I use my seam ripper A LOT!

But…

I learn so much from my mistakes! 

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.  ~Elbert Hubbard, The Note Book, 1927

The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.  ~Edward Phelps

Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster.  ~Weston H. Agor

We have moved our little garden from right outside our back door to the large field in the back of our property making this years garden a bit bigger.  This also created more work but I love it.  My happy place is found outside with my hands in the dirt.  Here are a few photos I have taken to document our 2010 garden.  Our garden also makes a great hands on learning tool for our preschooler Hannah.  She loves to wear her dresses and scoop up the fresh handpicked veggies in the bottom of her dress to carry to the kitchen while she sings Snow White songs along the way.  Priceless!

Happy late summer. Here is our little mid august garden we’ve grown for five years now.

Since most of the garden contains herbs and perennials we do little planting anymore. This year we did no planting and just let things volunteer up out of the compost. So I have transplanted a few tomato plants and let the pumpkins and gourds take over my old compost pile.

Usually our mid august garden would be shades of light brown by now from the late July and August sun, but we have had a large amount of rainfall all summer. So before it does all turn into next years compost I decided to document and share.
