And they have left...

The frost took the plants but we got the peppers picked before Mother nature took them.

It has arrived!

Broccoli mmm good! Will be picking 2 heads today. had purple cauliflower for dinner last nite nice taste, when steaming it does change the water to a light purplish blue wonder if they used to use that for dying years ago? Next batch i steam will try dying some yarn with it.

Good work day at the garden...

Pulled up the peppers all like 30 plants..lol and found earthworms in piles and herds!
Pulled up green beans they bit it just when they had started putting our beans. Left the tomatoes they got bit by the frost but still feel ok. Trimmed down the eggplants and tucked them in for the long winter rest with the hopes they come back in the spring.

Pulled up the morning glories, ok they were beautiful but i may regret this one the seed pods bust open before i pulled them...i didn't save any seeds probably should have but there is like 2000 seeds left in the ground. Redid both the signs moved one grape still need to move the remaining dirt and then will move that grape. Found the 2 gopher holes but no peanut butter at the garden so will have to go back. Rich Uyen Karen and Scott stopped by was nice to visit even with Rich. Tyler spent 3 hours - Scotts son- moving walkway material- YEAH!!! - and he plans on putting in another 10 or 15 hours more doing it...more YEAH!!!

Well need to review garden design and decide what or if planting anything and where for the spring and immediatley for the pepper area that is now empty..except for all the worms.

Tyler had a great time throwing the ball for Maggie maybe just maybe this will help with her "children fears" and he wore her out.

This morning planted tomatoe and pepper seeds- first round- doing another planting after we get back from California the beginning of January.
Done for the day exhausted- off to the shower!

The end of the Journey....

Well today is my last class turned in my class project last week i hope i get a good grade! I would love to have this backyard, we were supposed to do only a "garden" but to me the garden is your yard :) at least if you don't have a Ms Maggie who gets mad when you leave and pulls up plants...why oh why...she even knows she shouldn't have done it and yet....she still does....vengeance
