On that note, build a scarecrow using old or outgrown clothes. Gather a group of kids and have a weeding contest, complete with prizes for the biggest pile of weeds. Make watering fun by letting them get really wet in the process. When using pesticides, always be sure to read and follow label directions. While there is anticipation in the beginning, there is satisfaction at the end.
Harvest time is definitely the pinnacle of any gardeners' season.
Don't let those veggies and flowers go to waste.
