The Last of Summer Garden Review, M

we didn't have any pumpkin harvests this year or summer squash and our peach tree finally died after 20+years of service. overall it's been a lovely but offkilter summer. the garden looks great but i forgot to plant the zinnias and i let the weeding go something fierce. mom is valiantly battling snails but i just look out upon the unwieldy garden and sigh and think about tending to it in the fall maybe. i haven't even had the heart to mulch. but look at that dahlia! my it's glorious. and we have red ones too. not to mention the sunflowers- tried and true.
