While I still have a few beds to clean out, I still haven't gotten to the asparagus because it's still GREEN and not the YELLOW it needs to be for me to cut it all down and mulch it.
We DID take advantage of the weather and got the entire deck power washed and stained. It looks brand new! And did you know that we have 233 spindles on the deck railing? Yep. I painted every bloody one of them, LOL!
The greenhouse is cranking out lettuces at an alarming rate. I also have two kinds of Kale still producing, Calendula blooming away, and Spinach and Sugar Snap peas blooming...not sure if I'll get any peas, though.
Those hanging baskets I got for a song at Walmart in MAY are still going strong in my greenhouse. Surreal! I got 6 months of pleasure out of them so far - maybe 7 when all is said and done - then I have lovely, HUGE baskets with coir linings to re-use for years to come. Win/Win!
Looks like the weather will clear for tomorrow; funeral for a SIL's 98 year old Mom. She had seven children, (farm family) and ended up with TWENTY Great Grandkids! A life well lived.
We had hard enough freezes that it did in my asparagus, so I just cut it all back.
Just some weeds left and hopefully some Brussel Sprouts before winter really hits.
Next year, I need to start them much earlier in the summer.
