Environmental Problems I Run Into While Gardening
My phone's camera is broken or something so I can't send pictures but I can describe it, as my zucchini is very tall. My tomato plant is surviving somehow, two of them. The small one is growing straight now as it was bending to the left while my beefsteak tomato is growing tall. I'm seeing that the hot weather and rain is useful but the heat sooner or later might fry my plants. I need to grow them in a mini greenhouse in order to make sure they survive winter. I have seen some greenhouses on eBay and Amazon.

How to Garden with God at your Side
A garden is not a toy, or a prized possession. Not a beautiful cabinet or a well fashioned chair; not a fine pair of shoes to be worn and then discarded or a Japanese car to be polished and flexed. A garden is a living being; a colony of beings; each interlaced and interlocked amidst the other. It is a bastion of life against the frigid cold and the lifeless violence of the outside. A sheltered nursery of evolution and a refuge from the harsh trauma of collective life.
