Rotten Tomatoes

That is the smell at my house right now...
Be grateful there is no picture.  We have eaten, picked, canned, pickled, frozen, and LOVED this garden to DEATH but the summer garden is SO done and it needs to be pulled out.  Unfortunately we have been so busy with work and life that it just hasn't happened yet.  Matt and I can barely look outside right now without being overcome with guilt.  I have plenty of fun plans for our winter garden, but they have to wait until that old summer garden is tilled under.  This is the LEAST appealing part of gardening, getting in there with the moldy, old veggies and weeds and destroying everything we spent hours putting together.  I can't wait for the lettuce, broccoli, potatoes, and carrots of the winter garden...if only I can convince Matt to do all the hard stuff so that I can get on with the fun planting of seeds!  Meanwhile, all I hear in my head these days is this old nursery rhyme...
"A man of words and not of deeds,
Is like a garden full of weeds."
I know, I know, an awful mantra...we have GOT to get out there this weekend!
