Mid-Autumn update


The leaves have mostly turned and the forecast is beginning to mention snow. This past weekend, I harvested a lot of greens, carrots, and beets, pulled out the plants that are not going to produce any more (cucumber, basil, green pepper, bolted cabbage), and harvested some very small potatoes. My youngest daughter calls them "American Girl" potatoes, just the right size to satisfy her AG dolls.

Last night, I covered three frames with heavy duty plastic. I hope to cover one more tonight, then turn my attention to covering the arbor vitae before the deer find it is the only edible green thing in view.

I have been working on a "lessons learned" document and hope to post that sometime soon.
