NOT doing a garden this summer

 I'm not planting a summer vegetable garden this summer.   

I was worn out last summer from having to go out and water the squash and pumpkins every. single. day. and sometimes twice a day.   I planted the pumpkin seeds behind the squash mound to give them some shade and protection and it worked out very well.

Unfortunately our water bills doubled.  I couldn't give away all of my squash and quite a few of them just rotted on the vines (there's only so much squash one can eat!). I have the seeds.   I just don't have the desire.

So, I will forgo a summer garden this year.

Maybe next summer.
