Winter is coming and we are putting the gardens to bed. This is a sample of our last :( harvest. We are so proud of the LONG carrots. This is the first year we have accomplished it. Success certainly is attributed to the new deep raised bed we made this year. We also got a trash can full of potatoes. They were an afterthought, we just tossed some potatoes that began to grow eyes into the trash cans and put in some compost! We picked several gourds, pumpkins, cukes and still in the ground are beets, swiss chard and eggplant.
We are spreading are beautiful compost on the bare spots in the yard and planting grass. We are cleaning out all the pots and putting away the lawn furniture. The chicken coop is getting winterized. Zach finished shingling the wood shed we built (out of discarded pallets and stockade fencing). We Have 2 cords of wood split and stacked under the protection of the shed so far. Winter (and skiing!) will be here soon and we are prepared! Life is Good.
