So apparently I managed to mess up every plant I touched today.
I thought we had some sunflowers ready to harvest. So I cut them and brought them in and then watched you tube to figure out what to do with them. They aren't ready until the outer leaves turn brown and the seeds have white stripes. STRIKE ONE.
Then while we weeded today some of our grapes looked close to ready so I tried a couple that were fine. Then I picked a couple bunches. Apparently we have concord grapes and they aren't ripe until they are almost black everything I picked was super tart. STRIKE TWO.
Finally our poor little branch on our apple tree is so loaded it is dragging on the ground so I picked a few to lighten the load hoping they wouldn't be to bad. Well apples aren't ready up here until after the first frost and they taste grainy. STRIKE THREE.
Gardening must be a talent I don't have yet. But don't tell the kids that because spoiled or not, they tell me it was the best gardening day ever and they can't wait to try again.
