Fall is the time of year I usually dedicate a day off to staying home and getting the garden cleaned up and put ito bed for the winter. Sometimes I clean the house, too!
The overflowing dining area.
Yes, under all accumilated crap, there really is a kitchen table.
Or atleast that's the rumor - I haven't seen it in weeks.
WOW!
Time to move the house plants in off the back deck, too.
Potato Bed - Before
Potato Bed - After
Only a small crop (7 lbs) but it was an experiment this year.
A "new" hoop house over the potato bed.
"New" as in used and gifted to us by a friend.
A relocated and semi-protected grape tomato plant.
Fall lettuce sprouts in the recently turned 'tater bed.
My kitchen herb bed was being overrun by the tarragon.
After realizing just how little tarragon I actually use and how space consuming it was I pulled it all up. I halved the sage bush and dug back the marjoram too. Then I planted a ton (maybe 40?) garlic bulbs for next year.
The chickens enjoyed all the fresh herbs, little did they know I was trying to season them from the inside! Ok, maybe not. But with the shorter days, colder weather and my three layers in molt, the egg production is pretty low. We have wondered when the first one will end up in the soup pot.
Happy Fall to Ya!
