This ones going to require some back logging since my posting has been remiss...
So last weekend; Canadian Thanksgiving:
Totally gorgeous weekend!
HARVEST:
- 2 large zucchini! I cant believe its still producing!
-yellow crookneck squash, a couple of tiny pattipan
-the big orange pumpkin/squash in lower garden
-TONS of cherry tomatoes, yellow and red
-mortgage lifter, black prince and yellow peach heirloom variety tomatoes, only a couple yellow peach were ripe the rest I will have to ripen indoors using the banana box method... conclusion start tomato seeds in mid March dammit!
-Kale, curly leaf and cavallo nero, chard, nasturtium blossom
-Parsely, chives, oregano, mint, rosemary and the rest of the basil for immediate use or drying
-Leeks,Carrots,
-There are still TONS of apples int he tree down the lane, we picked a huge laundry basket full and didn't even get them all!
GARDEN:
It is a beautiful time of year to be and work in the garden now, perfect weather and no bugs! I have resolved to plant more autumn blooming flowers and shape a better fall garden. I can sit in the garden for hours at this time of year so it makes sense to have it just as beautiful and lush as midsummer when I can only be down there for a few minutes at time before getting swarmed and attacked!
