Vege Update

So my hanging tomato has finished - it's all skinny and brown.  And the corn out the front is ready for picking (I think).  And the tomatoes with the corn are being eaten by bugs and not by us.

This year has been rather a failure in the way of putting food on the table.  So I didn't plant lots of vege varieties, but the weather has beaten me this time.  Hubby asked the other day about the corn and the potatoes - when do they get harvested.  I told him it's been to hot to get out there to do it and I plan on doingit on Thursday.  Well that was last week and Thursday was too hot also.  I'm hoping for a break in the weather this Thursday so I can pick the corn, harvest what spuds have grown (I'm doubful of getting many) and turn over the tomatoes.  They are just not worth the watering.

In fact I have become so disillusioned by this whole process that I am thinkg if turning the vege beds into flowers beds.  At least they give me some ejoyment.

Mind you things would be a lot easier if I had some help with it all.  The grass/weeds are growing like mad around the beds and hubby no one thinks to get out the wipper snipper to cut them back.  And asking just gets a grunt for a reply.  I refuse to learn how to use that thing (or the lawn mower) as that would be 1 more thing for me to do around here.  Moan moan, whinge whinge.

so that's veges for March 2013 - maybe I will get inspirated (thanks cup cake queen for that word)..
