I think it's amazing you learned to do all those things this year. Oh, by the way, I'm getting chickens again. I missed their warm eggs in the palm of my hand.~~Dee My summer veggie garden wasn’t too happy without me this year either, but Moms and friends and loved ones come first.

And somehow my garden ended up being pretty abundent, too. Despite my benign neglect! Elizabeth--Gardening is a big experiment. I think that's why I find it so addicting. Nothing is ever the same twice! Flower--I just got back from NYC! It's totally a great garden town, despite the lack of space. And don't worry if your garden took a turn while you were gone, they always do at this time of year anyways. Madeline--Totally! That is a great idea. Elizabeth gave me the idea for this post, so I'll definitely write about putting your garden to bed. Look for a post on that next week! Denise--I'm so glad you found me via Sunset. It was such a thrill to be featured! And I feel you on the chickens. They are so great, but pesky in the garden. Gardenmentor. Wise words from a wise lady. I'm excited to see what next year brings. Amber--Good advice! We actually have a fenced, covered run, but silly us built it too small. So we feel guilty leaving our girls in there all day, and that totally gets us into trouble. My goal is to have a new coop and run for them by next spring. That way they can be comfortable in their space and I won't have to worry about them messing up mine. Lorene–I agree.

We have strung like a roof above our chicken enclosure and it keeps them in. I suppose it wouldn't work as well if the chicken enclosure was also the people enclosure... :| Maybe try bird netting to keep the chickens in.

Everything either went brown or got mildew while I was in NYC for two weeks. That garden still kicked out the food and I canned red sauce and mad spicy green beans!! It's not always about looks....I guess! Next year, I promise to eat my squash blossoms! this is making me feel not so bad for the sorry state of affairs in my garden.

Gardening is like a big experiment, isn't it? Even when you do everything right, nature or animals or life has a different plan. Thanks for sharing, Willi! Thank you for answering my request!
