Gardening. It's teh* awesome.
Look. September was basically a bullshit month in regards to my blog. My best posts this month were from last year or were guest posts on other blogs. The rest? Bloody boring, mostly photographs, did I really do a how-to and of course we can tie it all up with a bow with Lady Gaga.
Want a posty-post?
Maybe this one will turn out to be non-sucky but since it's another lame post about my garden it is likely to be bad. Sorry in advance. Stop reading it. Seriously. Check out the archives. There's some good stuff in there. Just not here.
Now it's September and the garden is totally out of control. The vines were taking over and pulling the four foot tall flowers in one direction or another. My garden was INTENSE. Jacob said that our flowerbed had mushrooms. That's a sign of too much moisture. #whatev.

I didn't take any photos of my garden demolition. Why didn't I? That sucks. I'm stupid. Moving on.
So basically here's what happened: our flowerbed got out of hand. In March I planted seeds; I blogged about it and so I won't bore you by writing the same thing again.

After some discussion Jacob and I decided to deflower (teehee) the flowerbed. It was a mess and while it was pretty it wasn't the look we were truly aiming for. I started pulling out the flowers and the ones that were too deeply rooted I just clipped them since they'll die during the winter anyway.
Now my garden looks sad as hell. I have said it before and I'll say it again: I suck at gardening. I enjoy it but I'm not good at it. But at least I had flowers! Now? sadness.
There is always next spring.
*Yes, I misspelled "teh" on purpose.

Green thumbs can grow as time goes on. I had one sucessful pepper plant out of eight but I have hope. Flowers are my thing, veggies are not. In my defense I am growing on a half shade/half sun patio in my apartment.
I love your transparency in your writing, and the way you talk to yourself and us. It feels like a conversation. Keep up the gardening blogs, because I need some inspiration from another deflower-the-flower-beds mama! LOL
