Garden Notes
It’s cool and gray (though at least it’s above freezing temporarily). I couldn’t help myself.

Well, with the exception of a few pots of herbs at home, both gardens are put to bed. It was a really good year, and I’m already really stoked for next year. I’m so looking forward to expanding what I can do in the community garden plot, now that I have a better handle

This year’s tally from the one tree yard: fifteen bags. We definitely benefited from the October storm here. I’ll probably have another half a bag’s clean up to do a little later. I had these bagged up and half of them over to my mother’s house on Saturday morning. The rest were over

The community garden plot’s down to the kale, sprouting broccoli and collards. The calendula just didn’t look happy anymore – now that it’s November, it has gotten a bit colder, so I pulled those out yesterday. We’ll see how much longer the above lasts. It looks very weird over there with so many

Harvesting continues. It’s pretty much every other day now, so I’m not posting it real time. The above are from 9/7, 9/8, 9/9, 9/10, 9/12, 9/14 and 9/17. The acorn squash on the 12th was a “No, seriously I have so many I couldn’t possible figure out what to do with them

More harvest shots: 8/28, 8/30, 8/31 and 9/4. There’s a good portion of all nightshades, all the time, but I did also take out the first batch of collards to thin out the patch a bit before I left the rest get bigger.
