My sister looked at my garden the other day and said I was a meticulous gardener. My first thought was, I know some really meticulous gardeners, and I'm not even close!
And then I took a look around.
You know what? I am pretty meticulous. The tomatoes are tied neatly; the new supports are actually supporting them. The squash, melons and pumpkins have been trained to go in the directions I want them to go in; with the exception of some rebellious yellow squash that is taking liberties with the marigolds, they are all behaving rather well.
The weeds, for the most part, have been pulled; though sis did manage to find a rather large one pretending to be part of the rhubarb. The strawberries have their own bed, and the mint is held in check by a path that gets no water.
I'm still not up to Connecticut standards, but yeah: this garden merits meticulous.

Isn't it funny how it takes us by surprise when someone makes a comment that we actually have to take a moment to verify it for ourselves! Have a great weekend Happy 4th!
