Its A Carrot!

I finally grew one. We sliced it up and threw it in the salad.

So good.

Big Thanks

It was an awesome holiday. Ill post holiday pictures soon. We got to harvest 1 carrot and a few beets. Almost everything we ate had something from the garden in it. Salad, greens, tomatoes, it was great.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday.

The Big Harvest

We are getting really excited to have Thanksgiving at our house. I'm not making a turkey but you can be sure that we will be eating well. We are going to harvest our beets, carrots, and fennel. We will have lettuce for salad and I have even been picking tomatoes. So exciting.

Fall gardening is so much easier than summer. I think its just too hot for me to get it right. Maybe a few more years living in California and ill be able to grow something.

Fall Is Time To Rest

A few weeks ago I chopped everything back. The yard looks a little sad but I hope in the spring everything will come back and be healthy. Its like the yard is sleeping. Somethings look dead and I want to yank them out. I have a feeling they are just taking a little dirt nap. Soon to sprout again.

Not sure if we are going to have time to mulch before Thanksgiving but maybe someday we will get that chipper going. Our partners in the chipper said its super loud and that we need to wear ear plugs. So glad they tested it out for us. I would hate to have the ringing in my ears.

Mulch Man Please Can I Have Another Scoop?

It was once said by a man who couldn't grow;
”Mulch Man, please, can I have another Scoop?”
The Mulch Man said: “man, I don't give a poop;
Have your girl kneel down, and spread this loot!”

To be a Mulch Man, boy, you must qualify;
Don't get high, off your own supply!
Mulch Man, Mulch Man!
Yeah, that’s me!
Mulch Man, Mulch Man
Yo, can I get a G?
Mulch Man, Mulch Man
Get as much as you can!
F this shit, who am I?
The MULCH MAN!

We went to San Pedro on sunday and got another load.

Sweet Peas

We have been taking it easy these last few weeks. Pretty wiped out after the mother-in-law marathon. I did manage to get some sweet peas in the ground.

The weather has cooled off a little. Maybe this weekend we will go get a load of mulch. Plus I need to dig out the sewing machine to hem the curtains in the guest room.

Its The Little One In The Back

We finally planted the Ginko Tree. I hope its not too late. The leaves are a little more curled than they should be. At least now it can spread its roots.

I need to keep my eye on it. Dont grow too big little tree. Or else you will meet Mr. Chipper.
