First Snowfall


Although the snow will melt pretty soon, it's definitely an indicator that our season is drawing to a close. This is the second last week of our harvest season, which will mean that April has gone to market every week for 17 weeks! That is the longest veggie harvest season we've ever been able to manage, and given our extremely poor summer, its a bit of an achievement.
After the snow melts we'll see what remains in the garden and take the last of it to market next Saturday, October 17.

For your climate 17 weeks is great! Very impressive. This year was difficult weather wise to say the least. I'm so glad I can start a new "perfect" garden on paper. It's that time of year.

Thanks Julie, hope your season went well too. We're a long way from planning next year, time to relax a little!

Good harvest season. I salute ya'll, About the only thing we can manage is a buch of weeds. And I mean we do it very well. Very well indeed.
But I did buy Jerry Bakers book on gardening. Maybe, just maybe, we can coax some veggies up out of this here Georgia clay.
