Gardening Season comes to a close

Well, since I haven't posted since July, you might get the impression that I haven't done much in the way of hobby stuff. Andddd...... you'd be right. Clean up day at the garden plot was fast approaching and I needed to take advantage. I cannot express to you the pain in the ass it is having to haul away your own debris. Not to mention there is a perfectly good patch of woods right next to the plots that could happily store all the organic waste I create. So Friday morning, princess pants and I headed down to do some much needed maintenance.

Things were pretty scary



So I let Izzy run off some of that delightful toddler steam and run around the enclosure. Unbeknownst (fyi, not actually a word) to me, she came across some very exciting mud puddles and in the space of about thirty minutes, managed to lose her sneakers, then socks and ran around barefoot in the 40 degree dew soaked grass. How she did not catch a cold is beyond me.



I know it doesn't look like much, but this is actually a huge improvement from before, and I managed to get rid of four large bags of weeds and dead plants. There's still plenty more to do, but its a start.





Now I just have to figure out what to get in the ground before it freezes!
