I'm writing this entry on August 30th and my garden is overrun by potatoes, eggplant, bunnies, rotting cabbage, growing carrots and beets and happy happy chaos. And tomatoes. I have much work ahead of me in that garden and much work taming my other beds and raking leaves later this fall. But here is a photo of my initial hopes and dreams -- the neat little garden with it's New York Times and straw and it's planted little beds. You can barely see the pale little green seedlings of vegetables here and there! Crazy!
