HI ALL!
I planted my walking onions in a pot and am eager to see what becomes of them next spring.

My acorn squash continues to bloom and develop proto squashes, but they all shrivel up and drop. That’s what I’ve seen with all my squashes. I’m just gonna let it do it’s thing and if it surprises me, well fine. If not, then that’s ok too. I’ll tackle it next round.

That is interesting about the vetch helping with the cuke attack fungus. Am wondering if that might be my problem this time with the acorn. *sigh*

Did final harvests of okras and cukes. Alas, our fridge died, and we put dry ice in the broken one while we shopped for a new unit. The contents of the hydrator drawer all froze up.

I have some bean pods still unharvested. I was going to wait to get them when it appears they have dried up.

I’m actually very happy about my gardening process this past season. I LEARNED so much, and actually had a few nice harvests. I’m ready to take a break from it right now. I do have some things to do to prep the small plot and my pots.

Speaking of pots, our Lowe’s had some 13” pots on sale for $1.50 each, so I picked up 6 of those suckers!

Good deal on the pots. We’ll be working on putting up persimmons and nuts for a while, as well as planting the wheat. Then we get a break. That’s when I try to buy large amounts of meats on sale and can them for the pantry. Good for eating out of the can or quick meals.

Even quicker using a thermos.LOL

It won’t be long till dreams of garden plans and visions of produce dance in my little head-then out comes the diagrams of the plots and past year’s plantings.LOL
