Last gardening days

Today I took my seasonal things back in the shed and garage. Winter is coming, I can feel it. I also harvested the last of my spinach and lettuces. I left the stems out just in case the weather get warmer. And finally I raked 4 big bags of leaves. Once I clean the ground of my main garden of rocks, I'll add those to the dirt. It will add desperatly needed organic material.

Harvesting and video log

I don't really have time for a long entry but I did make a small video on Youtube. I harvested my carrots today, well what was left if them, I had two yellow ones ??? The only thing left outside are my lettuces, spinach and a few beets that are only leaves. I'll harvest those as soon as I'm done eating what I have in the house. The leaves are actually quite good when steamed or boiled for a few minutes. They taste like cooked spinach. And that's it! I'm still not spending as much as I can but I'm not too strict. I'm not ready to become a full hippie just yet. I'll ease into it as I get closer to my ten year deadline =)

The video log of today

It's time...

This morning it's litterally cold outside. And I think that tonite it will freeze. So I suppose tonite I'll be harvesting most of my main garden. Tomatoes, zucchinis, the bigger carrots and peppers. I will leave my radishes, lettuce and spinach out. They can take a frost plus they're in raised beds so I think they'll be ok. But before I can do that I need to go to work.

Harvesting

I've been having trouble continuing my blog these past few days....for reasons unknown. But what the heck I'll just write what comes to mind about this crazy adventure! For a while now I've been havesting....on a small scale.But as Fall approaches I'm starting to harvest my usual crop (courgettes, onions, beans) and new ones. Like tomatoes, carrots, radishes, spinach, lettuces....and soon I'll have a pumpkin! I only wish I had planted more tomatoes so I could've canned some for the winter. Well I have something to get exited for next year I guess. I mean...just have another look at the picture to the right. =) How can someone not get excited about all those beautiful, organically grown vegetables! here's a link to my video harvest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tpsP5qzvrU
