Description
I’ve never had a summer garden this bad, and honestly, it’s hard for me to show you. It wasn’t one thing that went wrong — it was one thing after another, until the whole garden started feeling like too much.
I’m sharing what really happened in my garden this summer... including the part that’s hardest for me to admit — and what HAS to change next summer.
If your garden has ever gotten away from you, or you’ve hit that point where you just didn’t have the energy to deal with one more problem, this one’s for you.
