As the weather has cooled, and has become very mild, the garden is undergoing a rebirth- green growth and blooms are returning! The flowers, tomatoes, squashes and even the green beans are rejuvenated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is fun to get some harvesting in while watching to garden start to grow again. After July and August, the plants were looking pretty sad and worn out. So many hot days and nights! We\u2019ve gotten lots of the cherry tomatoes and some zucchini, strawberries are finally petering out, three butternut and one almost ready (and one little one that probably won\u2019t have time), and just so many beautiful flowers. Thankfully this was not a drought year, although I think we are always pretty much in a drought year here, so I was able to pour on the water during the hot spell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So as the summer garden starts to wind down, the winter garden starts. This year is weird because I am caring for two gardens of sorts. We will be here until mid spring so I need to plant my garden here, but we will be moving mid spring. So I am preparing the garden for Wilton also. It is a nice spot but way, way overgrown and weedy. It is going to grow from scratch so our job now it to get it ready to rototill (such hard soil) by moving the greenhouse out, raised beds out and leveling it! I\u2019ll write about it next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
