Farmer Fail

While it is true that half of my genes come from farming families I seem to have missed out on those genes!  I have finally admitted that I am just not meant to be a farmer...or at least not have a garden!  (I'm not ruling out my ability to care for animals!)

This summer I tried growing tomatoes, green beans, carrots and peppers.  


Sadly, I got one cucumber, 3 beans and a bunch of very small carrots.  


We're a big fan of baby carrots in this house so it wasn't a total loss!  
I threw these into some chicken soup and they were delicious! 

I'm super excited that cooler temperatures have arrived...in this house that means - SOUP!!! I will be sure to share some of our favorite soups soon!

    Well don't feel bad. I pretty much had the same results. My carrots were even smaller. I think I didn't have a deep enough planter. I got ZERO tomatoes, ZERO peppers, some cilantro, and a couple handfuls of cucumbers.

    But I am not giving up. I think I want to make planters for next year. My garden area this year has since been sodded over. :)
