Fall in the Gardens

The arrival of fall marks many changes in the gardens. Pumpkins, gourds, and flowers are harvested for decoration, inlcuding goldenrod from out new meadows. The last of the kitchen crops are picked before the first frost, just in time for soups and stews.With the harvest complete, there is still time for planting before the ground freezes. New blueberry beds are dug and planted. Twelve evergreen trees are also planted; that's almost 50 trees in the past two years.
