End of the Season


It was time. My garden was tired, producing little. Plastic sheeting had protected some of the plants from a bit of frost at night. On Sunday I harvested what was left in the garden then ripped or dug out all of the plants and threw them on the pile. We pulled up all of the plastic and fabric mulch. The rocks that held them down were tossed into their winter spot to wait until next year. It's a tiring job made worse by all of the pollen that was stirred up. The most successful vegetable this year was the peppers - I got a large number of wonderful, sweet, red bell peppers. Of course I already have in mind the changes I'll make for next year...
