Fall Garden

​

Rain is so nice this time of year, especially if you are a Fall gardener.  My husband and I were fortunate enough to get our Fall garden planted and up before the rain began.  Our lettuce looks very nice thanks to the cooler temperatures.  This is the time of year that is also bittersweet as we use the last of our fresh tomatoes and the spent plants are being pulled up and hauled to the compost pile.   Our freezer is over loaded with produce, broth etc.  The shelves in the basement are full of tomatoes, salsa, pizza sauce, green beans among many other garden items.  We have our potatoes in the the cool as well as squash.  Aside from some very warm temperatures this years harvest is rated as one of our best.  All of our hard work has paid off and we can reap the benefits all winter long.  When the temperatures are below freezing and perhaps snow on the ground I will look back on our hard work and be thankful for our garden.
