Waste Not, Want Not Wednesday

Our summer full of gardening, an attempt to be green, hasn't really been a success. 

We tried. Truly we did. 

Our crop so far has included one strawberry

and this beautiful red pepper

barely bigger than a grape or blueberry.

My squash and cucumber bloom over and over again, but so far not a vegetable has emerged. 

The only thing that seems to really show any promise for a usable crop this fall are the potatoes, which are taking over the entire back porch. 

So today's Waste not, want not Wednesday is an encouragement to keep trying. 

 I will.
Even though I seem to be a completely failure~ I won't give up!
Perhaps next year I will live somewhere I can plant in the ground, rather then just containers.
Maybe that will help?
