End of Gardening Season
We have been in full garden production, here at Chez Neeley. Our first year garden has produced lettuce almost the whole summer (I had to buy a little the last couple weeks of summer), tomatoes galore, green beans, corn ( I think we got about 15-20 ears), strawberries and of course pumpkins.
In the last couple weeks I have begun to trim things back and get it ready for fall. I would say it was well worth the effort to put it in the yard. As a first year gardener, I have been pleased with the production and the amount of time I had to tend to it in order to see results. Most of the plants did not need my help. The majority of my time was spent watering a few times a week to ensure we did not dry out anything. :)
Here are the last pictures of the season:
And here are a few of our pumpkins:
We are looking forward to carving them at Halloween! This will be the first year we will not need to go to a pumpkin patch!
Here is hoping that we can re-produce our crops next year and have another great year of gardening!!
