Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
Here's my green acorn swag. A week or two ago, the five of us sat down and made the September swag. We all made two letters except BFJ, who obviously made the most of his one letter (B)! I am pleased to tell you that all of the pumpkins and gourds are from my own yard. 
Tonight I went to a charity event in which my in-laws danced. Aren't they a happy looking couple? They are pretty fun. I hope they don't mind me sharing a picture, but I just couldn't resist. They danced the cha-cha; all of the other competitors (ladies) danced with instructors and I must say, I think my MIL had the best partner!
darling banner!!
ReplyDeleteyour in-laws look like they are having fun.
i made marinara earlier this year and my post was saucy-saucy cha cha and someone told me cha cha meant diarrhea in their house! haha.
well... happy fall.. it's right around the corner.
Oh, I like the pumpkin/gourd display--what a clever idea! And the swags look great.
ReplyDeleteToday's temp will be 86, but the next 10 days will be in the 70's with a couple of 60's, so I think fall is finally coming around. It's just been too hot and muggy to think fall yet.
I love your mantle display! That is great. It has felt like fall to me lately. I also wish I had planted pumpkins. Why did I forget again?
