Although we are still in full harvest mode we are also getting some fall prep and clean up done around here...
Baby Boy is helping my in the bed that soon will cradle our precious garlic...
We LOVE garlic!
We have planted a fall cover crop in some beds while others are soon to be covered with hay and manure. Rototilling will soon commence in a new area of the garden in preperations for next spring (in the Northwest it is way to wet to till in the early spring). After the ground is turned I will cover it will hay and compost thick enough to discourage weeds.
Some things are still growing like mad...
I have more pepper, eggplants, and tomatoes than I can just about handle!
(Come back tomorrow and see what I make with this basket of goodies!)
There are also a few beans, lots of kale, onions, and some swiss chard.
The flowers are still blooming.
Some purposefully planted, some not...
We are not the only ones hard at work...
Even the yellow jackets are!
If you want more bug photos and a little story or two I'm over at Not Dabbling in Normal exploring whether yellow jackets can be considered art!
Of course there are the jams and jellies to be made this time of year!
How about you? What are you doing to get ready for change of seasons?
