Enjoying a beautiful and soothing week in the garden. Friends are in town, the weather is dreamy and hugs are everywhere.
The garden is slowing down and nothing is too urgent or pressing, so we are slowly tackling projects. One of the hoophouses is now planted with spinach, kale and a variety of other things for the winter. The second and third will be planted in the coming days. Whoop whoop!
The potato harvest is almost complete. Up next, flipping beds, planting garlic and spraying a round of biodynamic preparations.
The cover crops we seeded earlier in the season are thick and looking great! I think they have really benefitted from the regular rain this season.
The garden is still producing so the harvests will as well! Keep a look out for emails and updates here with upcoming harvest details.
Sending love!
Aspen groves, with their radiant leaves rustling and dancing in the wind, are so magical! Wow. Are you loving the colors and these warm, beautiful days!? I remember last season being much cooler and by mid-October a snowstorm or two had already covered the garden in a blanket of white.
The garden is still producing like mad and the greens and roots are getting sweeter by the day. So... let the harvests continue! I am suddenly craving kale and potatoes?! Quite the change from endless pesto and tomatoes a few weeks ago.
The hoophouses are transforming. We are pulling the tomatoes, peppers and basil out and making room for a Fall planting of greens! I am excited to experiment with growing various greens (salad, spinach, kale, mustards, etc) throughout the winter. Might as well, right?
And the task of harvesting potatoes has begun. I like to hold off (err procrastinate) on digging potatoes until it is cool enough to wear a sweater. There's something about sweaters and potatoes, I don't know. It just feels right.
Ok, enough rambling...
Cheers to finding daily magic!!
