Hello everyone!!!!
It has been a long time since I have blogged. So sorry. The garden is in its last stages. Boo Hoo!!! The tomatoes have had their last hurrah. The peppers are still producing, even though the deer are chomping them like you would not believe! The white flies have invaded the Kale and Brussel Sprouts. A good washing is all they need. The end of second crops of beans, carrots, and beets are upon us. I still have a couple of heads of cabbage left in the garden. The celery is ever present. And there are sweet potatoes yet to be harvested. WOO HOO!!! The orange pumpkins and gourds are ready to be brought to the porch for Fall decorations. This is such a sad time of the year for me. I want to have a thriving Fall garden but need a farmer to teach me how to extend the growing season. As I was about to buy Fall season vegie plants- I could not find a nursery that sold the plants. Does this mean I need to plant the seeds ahead of time? What do you do about the bugs that have decided to reside in my garden. Do I need to re-amend the soil? So much still to learn. I hope that I have inspired my followers to, at the very least, EAT LOCAL VEGIES!!! Try something new. Hopefully, I have also inspired you to start a garden of your own-whether on your deck, in a community garden, or, if you are luck enough, in a garden of your own. As for me, I will spend the winter learning how to make my garden better, how to extend the season, and especially how to control the pests organically.....especially the STINKBUG! Please respond letting me know what has been most valuable with the blog. If you adopted vegies-what did you like the most? What did you like the least? All in all, it has been an amazing season. Thank you for all your support. I will continue blogging over the fall and winter providing recipes and stories. Keep tuned!
