It’s only 31 °F this morning but that’s not keeping me out of the garden. As far as I’m concerned, it’s Spring. It seems I’m not the only one either. I found this little friend squirming around the radish seedlings that I planted last weekend.

August marks the end of our summer garden. Only a few plants remain including watermelon, pumpkins, and tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes. Time to bring out the canning supplies and make some sauce.

Peak tomato season has arrived, along with the annual realization that I put in too many plants again. I’m the only one in the house that eats them.

The salad greens and carrots are in full force, the garlic is swelling, and all of my summer veggies are filling in the remaining empty spaces in the garden.
