Brrrrrrr . . .

It's nearly December and we've got FREEZING weather! The nice thing is that the cole crops do just fine in the cold weather! The beets, carrots and onions are doing well, too!

If you want to spend a few minutes in the garden, hoe some weeds by the block wall, or put compost on the remaining beds.

We'll be starting up with planting peas and transplanting onions in mid-January, so Merry Christmas, and ENJOY DECEMBER!!

DE-STRESS IN THE GARDEN. . .

Thanks to the cooler temperatures, we're entering a new season in the garden: DE-STRESS SEASON...not to be confused with DISTRESS!!! With the beauties of Fall around us, the garden is the perfect place to come for relaxation and therapy of a different kind! Spending 30 minutes with the EARTH is very soothing, and helps provide a great atmosphere for thinking and sorting through "things."

The garden is the CHEAPEST THERAPY AROUND!!! Come enjoy this beautiful spot of ground and you'll come away with more than carrots, beets, broccoli and cauliflower!!

Things that need done:

1. Rake the tomatoes and leaves off the beds and put in trash cans

2. Put piles of compost on the empty tomato beds; rake out evenly

3. Weeds need hoed or shoveled (meaning use a hoe or a shovel to remove the weeds) throughout the walkways and around the perimeter of the garden.

4. See any obviously dead plants...pull them and toss in the trash cans.
