A Wrap Up of 30 Days to a Better Garden

June 30, 2009 by asonomagarden 5 Comments

Can you believe June is pretty much over already? This was a fast month, which is unfortunate because it’s one of my favorites. Summer is still new and therefore not too hot, ice cream tastes better, we get foggy mornings and warm afternoons, the farmers market is starting to really come alive as is our garden. How is your garden? How does it look? Did this 30 Days challenge help you get motivated to make your garden better? It helped us for sure, well except for the end there. Sorry about that. Let’s blame it on this heat wave, shall we? We were moving at the pace of slugs.

I thought I’d use this last day to wrap things up and write out a list of everything we talked about. From my blog stats it looks like most everyone found the Homemade Insect Repellants to be their favorite, what was yours?

    Hi Kendra,
    I’m so glad to have found your site…it will come in handy that day when my hubby and I have a garden of our own (rather than just the scattered tomatoes plants we’ve got right now). Thanks for all your info about Sonoma…we are very excited about everything we’ve learned from you about the area and will be visiting very soon.

    I’ve thought about this and really can’t narrow it down. Each day had a nice dose of information. Thanks.

    Hey,
    I’m really keen to do this on my garden – work through the 30 days and learn a lot. I do notice that you are kind of missing days 25-30… Are you able to put up a list of all 30 so that those of us who are mid-spring can work through it?
    Thanks heaps!
    Nate
