Ha. Cute pumpkin meme. Well we had some frost a few days ago. Fall has been cooler than usual. I had to move the lemon trees and stuff into the green house. I also covered them with row covers, since I needed to keep them warmer.

I am making room to bring the lemon trees indoors. I have one bed of garlic planted. 4 of the raised beds are planted with a mixed cover crop. I have 5 beds left to clean up and plant. One will be some more garlic, if they are ever delivered. They were really slow last year too, but such beautiful big beauties when they finally got here, that I ordered some more.

Hubby is still working on the shed/root & storm shelter. Still has one last pour for the concrete. Still putting down the steel. Will have to get the pour done soon or wait till spring. Trusses were delivered yesterday—so waiting would be really bad.

I also should have already harvested the tumeric. Got to try and dig it up this weekend. First time for a harvest to use it-I want to save some in a pot and will bring it indoors for the winter.

I habe a Meyer Lemon tree outside in a pot with about 12 smaller lemons on it.

I keep trying to kill it by drowning akd other bad deeds but the thing just won’t go!

Right now it seems like that stray animal that won’t “Git!” so I may bring it back in the greenhouse this winter and keep it another year.

Tell me about growing tumeric...is it worth it growing space/yield wise? My wofe uses it as a natural supplement.
