Hi all,
Thought I would post a quick update on the garden. Unfortunately, our home computer crashed, so I'm having to go to the library to get online. So, no pics to post today. Bummer.
Anyway, the garden is all in and I'm enjoying the shorter days of fall/early winter. I love summer, but I'm always thankful when the busy, rush-rush is over. Now, maybe I'll settle in for winter with some knitting, crocheting or quilting. Yeah!
We had a 'bumper' crop of beans this fall. The beans had kinda shriveled up and finished for the summer, but after a spell of cooler weather this fall, they kicked in again for a week or two. That was kinda neat.
I have over a dozen pumpkins sitting in the back entry waiting to be cut up and baked for freezing. We got about a hundred pounds of potatoes and LOTS of carrots.
Overall, the garden was a big success. We did have a few things that didn't do well. We only got ONE cucumber out of eight hills we planted. The watermelon, cantelope and butternut squash never came up. And, I wrote earlier how a good chunk of our corn got smoked when the neighboring farmer sprayed his beans with roundup. Oh well, we still had lots of corn to eat, freeze and give away...and plenty of other veggies to keep us busy!
Hope all of you are enjoying the season you're in! God bless!
