End of September Update

I'm crazy busy with a lot of non-garden stuff right now so this update will be somewhat short... which kinda works since its nearing the end of the summer gardening season... and moving into cover crops + winter greens time...

enjoy!

So we did a big harvest last weekend had a bunch of friends over and took down A LOT of stuff.. tons of tomatoes, all the kale, most of the beans, all of the corn, the last of the squash... and a few other things here and there... it's weird seing the front of the house as we pull up from a day at work...

another shot of the beheaded corn field...

I decided that It'd be nice to have some ornamentals, and of course I wanted them to be as carefree as possible... so I got a bunch of perennials... well really I said the misses can get flowers as long as they fall under at least one of the following categories...  

Medicinal

Edible

Attracts Beneficial insects

or..

They're perennial

and so after a day at the nursery we came home with 25 small new perennial flowering plants.  Dropped them in the front along the fence, and some closer to the house...  so hopefully in the next few years we will get to see some more color in the front of the house and all around, which i must admit would be nice..  Greens great and all but sometimes its nice to have little accents of color.

the left overs of what hasn't been harvested yet...  that's the plan for this weekend is to pretty much clean this out and plant all of the winter greens and cover crops...  as long as i can find time...

well Back to work for me!
