We have decided to not do a garden this year.  It was a tough decision because we've gotten

used to the fresh grown produce.  Our decision not to garden at this time was practically made for us

in that the soil seemed to need a rejuvenating period.

The vegetables coming from our garden in the last few years were not as bountiful as in previous

years.  Production was  'way, 'way down.  Our tomatoes were not as sweet and tasty as they normally

were.   On and on;  Okra, squash, beans, peppers, peas, etc, they haven't reached maxium growth

in quite a few years now.



Bottom line;  No gardening in 2013!  Hopefully the next year will prove to be a charm.  We are not

giving up on raising vegetables.  Just giving our little garden plot a much -needed rest.  We are also

treating the soil with nutrients to enhance its producing abilities.
