Just in case you are wondering, there was no garden club meeting last week, BUT THERE IS THIS WEEK Sept 5th.

BUT there will be next week, the first Friday of September.
You know I can't get on here without writing something else so how is your garden going? Some of mine are starting to wind down, like my yellow squash which have had a stellar year. I'll wait to analyze why some other time, since I really am not sure. ;-)
I know I mentioned my bathtub gardens and I think I mentioned that our biggest dog (100+) started jumping up in there to dig out the soft soil and then lay down. What I can't remember is if I told you I started putting things in there the discourage her.
It turned into a pet food can mulch which looked like **** but accomplished it. She stopped. I had lost most of my garlic and some flowers but had been able to save a tomato and a few other flowers along with a purple secretia I had put outside for the summer.
We had a niece visit and Debbi wanted it to look a little nicer so I removed the cans during her visit. Before I could get them back in, PITA took another dirt bath and wiped out everything but the secretia.
You can image I was so happy she had weeded my bathtub! So happy! Some cans are back in there, but it is probably time to replant the secretia in a pot for winter or take cuttings. Yes, I am giving up. (for now)
When I replace the soil, I am going to get some adult diapers (unused thank you) and line the bottom of the tub. It dries out way too fast and NO rain has ever threatened to "over-water" the plants.
This will not only slow the exit of water from the drain, but other gardeners in our club swear that the diapers do a great job in hold moisture for the plants later. They also seem to be a lot cheaper than buying a soil additive that does the same.
