Sweet taters

I harvested some sweet potatoes and a couple of other things with my mother in law today. The garden season is coming to end, but it is not here yet. We have another row and half of taters to dig up. We still have a bunch of jerusulum artichokes that we can dig up too.  I am not sure what we are going to with those, but I suppose we will figure it out.

We also got some bell peppers, which are still flowering actually, and some little eggplants, which were delicious I must say.

This garter snake is eating worms from the compost that I turned this morning.

We are having some problems with the asparagus beetle.  Apparantly the organic treatment for these little buggers is to dunk them in soapy water.  We are trying that, you do have to get them in the morning before they dry their little wings out.

It doesn’t look like much now, but this is the future site of some terraced flower gardens.  It is a little cold out now to be working on it, but as soon as it warms up, we have about 3 pallets of retainer wall bricks that we will be using to build a two terraced, flower garden out by the road.  I will keep this updated through the process.  I was just thinking that I had been being too exclusive with the renovation on the blog, so I wanted to mix it up a bit.  I will be getting back to some other things soon too I’m sure, feel free to comment or message me if there is a particular direction you would like to see me go.

OK, I think I have the photo blog set up correctly now. Any photos I send to this address should automatically post to my blog. This is something I have been wanting to be able to do because ther are just some things it would be cool to share immediately.

Susan and I planted a fall garden at the house in Brentwood yesterday. We have been doing a lot of gardening and landscaping in the time that I have been here. It is unfortunate that I will not be here for the fruition of this garden, but there is always next year.
