how does you garden grow?

messy. that’s how mine grows. i relish organization in most areas of my life, and have to admit i swoon when i see neat lines of green budding, but mine never seems to turn out that way.

no matter how much thought and effort i put in to planning the placement of each type of plant before i sow, the oklahoma wind and thunderstorms inevitably whip the seeds into a garden soup before they can get roots established.

so in the end, the cucumbers are mingling with the strawberries, the squash are getting friendly with the tomatoes, and chard is sprouting up all over the place.

which means that i have to tiptoe through my veggie patch because there’s no space to walk between the green. what can i say? my garden grows oganically, both in it’s lack of chemicals and it’s natural propagation.

by the way, if you garden, and you’re on pinterest (or would like to be), let me know so i can invite you to contribute to my “how does your garden grow?” board. i love to hear great gardening ideas, and i need all the tips i can get.
