Garden Blogger's Death Day

*Double post. Please scroll down for the first one.* I almost let it pass me by, then when I thought of it, I almost didn't bother since it's such a sad (but all too necessary) part of gardening... I've had two deaths in the garden this month. The first were my two marigold plants that I started from seed. I planted them in a container that sat on the concrete, and had really babied these guys; moving them twice a day from morning sun to afternoon shade. Then summer activities got in the way, and after they finally started blooming, the heat quickly killed them. I didn't take a picture of the carnage because it was just too depressing for me, but they look a lot like ribbit's lavender over at The Corner Yard. So, if you wish to sneak a peek at garden carnage, click away... The second garden death were my bean plants, but I blogged about that earlier this month. I'll try to remember saving descriptions of death until Death Day next time. ;-)
