Holy cow! Yes, we’re pretty much picked out in the gardens. But there’s still a lot to go. Unfortunately, Will had a farm auction to go to at our neighbors’ house today. Then Brad, from PBS, needed to come this morning to do another photo shoot using his drone. We’d decided he’d film us harvesting our now-famous Hopi Pale Grey squash out in the Wolf Garden. My knees are still plenty sore and bending way over is hard. Fortunately, Heather, our friend, was able to come help me do that. Thank you, Heather! We had fun and harvested a whole bunch of squash into the solar powered golf cart, my garden baby. It’s always a pleasure to have Brad out. He’s also a gardener so he gets it.
I’ve still got melons and a few peppers to pull in. Fortunately, Heather said she could come back this afternoon. Whew. I don’t know how long Will will be at the auction and I can feel cold weather closing in on us. Well, it was going to happen sooner or later, wasn’t it?
Our prayers go out to all those affected by the horrible hurricane that struck the southeast. — Jackie
Have a question for you, if you don’t mind answering random comment questions. When do you spread manure on your gardens? I figure you’re in a similar climate.. do you do fall? Spring? Both? Neither?
Also yay for squash! :]
(We have had most of this last week’s early mornings accompanied by frosts.. bah!)
