We had our production week over yesterday and afterwards I made my delivery run. I was exhausted last night, but it was worth it since today was all mine! Yay!
The morning started off chilly with lots of sunshine. My garden has been sliding downhill quickly during the month of August.
As the temperature rose I headed outside and began working. I thinned out the beets and turnips I planted over two weeks ago.
I harvested the rest of the beets, eggplant and carrots. I know what mistakes I made that affected the size of produce; I overcrowded everything.
Overcrowding shouldn’t be a problem next year since we added more raised beds to grow more food.
After harvesting I pulled out the plants and threw them into a compost pile. I left the pepper until they all turn red.
I am planning on roasting all the red peppers and storing them in olive oil. I love roasted red peppers and can have them all winter.
Did I mention how much I loved growing food for us to eat??
After lunch, I got out our scarecrow frame and dressed it in clothes that are too big on me now.
I attached my scare girl to the post Marty put up so I could display our birdhouses that were tucked away in the back part of our yard.
I had the idea and knew what it would look like and Marty made my vision come to life again.
I have a lot to write down in my garden journal and I took photos at the beginning and the end of each month to remind me while planning next year’s garden.
I went into the pool to cool down after gardening and jumped in the outdoor shower afterwards. Ah!
The outdoor shower was the best thing Marty built for us this summer. We take showers almost every night before bed.
There are no words for showering under the starry skies and the beautiful moon.
That’s it for now. I’m making Thai green curry chicken and jasmine rice for dinner which is an easy and flavorful meal. Yum!
Hey, happy Friday! Enjoy your holiday weekend guys. ❤️🤍💙
Yum! Julz, I love your zest for life. Keep it going.
