It's the first of the month … GOOPs Day. For those unfamiliar, GOOPs stands for Gardening Oops. GOOPs Day occurs on the first of each month when I confess a gardening blunder hoping my words might prevent you from repeating my faux pas. Then I ask you to humbly confess one of your GOOPs.
September's cooler and invigorating temperatures brought me renewed energy to complete one summer project – deconstructing what had been my primary vegetable growing bed. The healthy soil I worked years to build up attracted an unwelcome underground element. Voles found whatever I planted - peas, beans, cucumbers, summer squash, or tomato, pepper, and eggplant transplants – a convenient meal. What voles ate we could not.
NOTE: this is a repost from July 7. The original mysteriously disappeared from my blog.
Here it is July 1 already. Summer is blooming along and providing me with many Gardening Oops (GOOPs) and gardening successes . On the first of each month I share one of my GOOPs hoping to give you an edge - maybe my GOOPs will help prevent you from doing the same.
It's June 1 and with that comes another in my continuing series of gardening oops confessions – I call it GOOPs for short. We all tend to learn from our missteps, and hopefully do the same from those of others. So on the first of each month I fess-up one of my GOOPs hoping you might learn from my faux pas. (Read through past GOOPs posts here.) Today If you are so inclined you can share one of yours below in a comment or on your own blog (just leave a teaser and a link below).
