Nov 29, 2010Your garden looks like it did quite well?
we did not garden this last summer planting season was to cold and wet .
Are those strawberries the sequoia variety?تفاعلرد - ععضوصاحب المنشورNov 30, 2010
Yes, the garden did well again this year. Actually, only about half of it is visible in these photos. I'm not sure on the strawberries. We planted about 3 varieties, 2 were "everbearing" varieties, but it seems like "sequoia" is ringing a bell.

Wow, great looking garden! I just ordered my seeds for next year - I figure I'll beat the Christmas rush.

The small hoops in forground were to cover the cabbage, broccoli, Kale etc. to protect from cabbage worm moths. The "big ass" sunflowers hadn't yet come up along the back fence to the right.تفاعلرد

So do you have anything still growing in the garden? I have kale, spinach and beets still left. I picked all of carrots yesterday since they are not protected in the hoop houses.

No, nothing still growing, but we do still have some carrots and parsnips in the ground tucked in their beds under insulating blankets of plastic and straw, and now 1 1/2 feet of snow. Ready to be dug up as we need them. They don't dry out or rot this way and seem to get sweeter as long as they get dug up before any new growth in the spring.

I tried something new this year for storing the root vegetables. I buried some 5 gallon food grade buckets with the screw on lids under my deck. Now I just move the hay bale (for insulation) unscrew the top and grab a few carrots or beets. So far 2 degrees is as cold as we've had and it's still in the upper 30's in the bucket. The main advantage is that it's much easier than uncovering the garden and digging up the veggies which is what I have done for many years.

Another summer is comming to an end, another one to remember. I missed a lot of time in my garden, being too busy doing other things. One thing was being involved in planting a new village "Community Garden" with grasses, a wild flower medow and some trees. Mostly they have grown and flourished during the summer. Autumn planting starts soon with lots more trees and a hedge.
