Fall in my Garden







No, I didn't fall in my garden, it's the time of year. It seriously effects the productivity of certain types of plants. The tomatoes get going strong, but the Cucumbers and Squash slow down a ton. In fact, I pulled most of my squash out as you can see the big hole in my garden now.

Hannah helped me keep everything wet, even though it's cooler now, and doesn't need as much water as it does in the middle of summer.

Over the last month, the kids have set up a vegetable stand out on the corner, and sold fresh veggies. It's been great for them to make some $$ and to learn some good lessons about work.




They made about $25 over the two times they did it! They were stoked, and I was too. I think we'll try and do that every year, we have enough room, and I think it gives them a vested interest in the garden each year.
