We finally had a heavy frost and 29 degrees a few days ago, so it is time to give you a final update on the 2025 garden. Everything is out of the garden now. Bert will soon trim the Echinacea stems to ground level, and probably trim the lavender stems off also. Nothing to see there now. The asparagus ferns are still green, but I imagine they won’t last long. They will get trimmed down also.
The large rain barrel in the garden will be totally emptied and the rain barrels by the shop will be drained and stored until next spring.
The last of the tomatoes that had been sitting on the counter are finally in the pot. Only four are left and two may not even ripen. We’ll see!
The carrots are stored in the refrigerator and will stay nice until Christmas.
And today Bert harvested the rest of the pumpkins! Such fun!
I feel like we’ve truly decorated for Halloween now! I just noticed that Bert placed the pumpkins with the good sides facing the house so I could see them! I love them!
