I love fall, and it's not just because of the return of the Pumpkin Spice Lattes to Starbucks (that I'm sipping on as I type). Yes, it is one of my few guilty pleasures that I cannot seem to reproduce at home! While I hate to see the days of summer squash, green beans, and tomatoes go away, I am excited about entering a whole new season of veggies to grace our table.
Allen made the semi-annual trip to the Farmer's Exchange on Wednesday to get everything we needed for our fall garden. After spending all day out there working today, I'm proud to say our garden has been made over for the fall. Seeing the compost we've been working on for years put to use is such a good feeling! The thought of slow-cooked collard and turnip greens leaves my mouth watering.
I am also looking forward to being able to start providing our community with fresh produce once again. The lack of rain and arrival of our third child cut our ability to produce enough to sell short this summer. Hopefully we will soon be offering baskets of fresh, locally-grown produce once again.
My apologies for the double posts without pictures but it's definitely too dark to document the beautiful garden tonight! Photos to come.
