This past weekend I spent time putting the garden to bed! Summer is officially over, the tomato plants are squeezing out whatever they have left. Dried beans are amassing nicely for 1 personal bowl of chili. I planted some lettuces, kales, and other greens last week. Covered it all in straw for some warmth and protection. While some critter has completely obliterated one of the new plants, some of the other ones are already growing. (Something I was worried about getting started so late in the season)
I stood there in awe yesterday realizing the drastic changes. The garden is no longer bright with colors or seemingly to be producing anything. But from my Summer season, Ive learned its all a part of the process. Something to take away from that...
