Garden Thursday

Hello and Welcome to The Garden this week. We have been having a few nice days. Sunny and warmer than normal. However that is going to change this weekend. It will be furry cold and windy. None of that white stuff out there, at least not yet. Mum was being silly while she sat outside and took a picture of the shadow of of her feets. 
The community garden is pretty much done for the year. They harvested the last of the stuff, carrots, eggyplant, peppers, kale, swiss chard and a few onions. All the plants are pulled out too.
 The raised beds all cleared, the poultry netting taking down. They dug around a few of the metal raised beds, they need to be treated so they don't rust some more.
 The pile of what is left of the plants, they get composted. They may have a work day or two for working on the metal and clearing out the flowers.
Plus at the end of the season the dahlia finally decided to bloom. Sure, just in time for frost to set in.
 Mum snuck one carrot out to bring home for lunch. She loves the smell and taste of really fresh carrots. Yes, you see Ducky's lunch too!
So mum will now have to think and do about working in her own yard! Time for cleanup at home too.

That is it for this week. Love Virginger,, Glimmer, Trooper and Fleur.

  2. Nothing like fresh veggies...if you're not a cat! We're supposed to freeze tonight here too, which is pretty darn early for us. Thankfully we have Mom to keep us warm!

  4. I recall that as a child, we'd harvest the carrots, beans, etc., and eat them after washing them off with the hose! Talk about fresh from the garden!

  5. my grand father grew veggies and we always picked a carrot right out of the soil, gave it a "dusting" on our sleeves and munched away, carrot and any remaining soil !! ☺☺♥♥

  6. That is a funny photo of your mum's feet shadow. It looks like a strange winged monster!
