On Friday we went to have our Friday Nature Walk, and decided to go document the garden. The girls helped out there a little bit, but I can't take any credit for it. Summer is quickly coming to a close here and we are hoping for a couple more weeks before the garden is finished!
I will share some pics of this years garden. The first ones are of the raised beds. They came out really well this year. Our good friend Alan was in charge of them, and he did some nice horse manure tea for them. I think this was an experiment this year, but it definitely turned out to be the way to go!
The raspberries are past their peak but there are a few jewels to be found yet! Judy was in charge of the nonraised bed part of the garden. A lot of it has already been harvested. She did a great job, but unfortunately will be leaving the team at the end of the month.
Next are the snow peas. They are abundantly producing right now and love our cooler weather.
Potatoes:
Beets (as handsomely displayed by my dh, Tim). We've processed loads of them already. This is by no means all of them.
This is what is left of the broccoli. It had recently been harvested. It will continue to produce until the snow covers it up!
Cabbages. Last year we had like 200 plants - this year we won't be buried in the stuff. Many have been harvested already as you can see.
My cabbage patch girls!
Obviously this isn't the garden, but I am so proud of all the work the guys have put into our woodshed this year. Do you see how deep it is? It is so full they can't put anymore in! Way to go guys!
In addition to these things, everyone has pitched in to help us process peaches and tomatoes from Sharing Ministries - we can't grow them up here. Usually we have a truckload of corn to process, but we still have loads from last year. The freezers are full with cauliflower, broccoli and, I assume, snow peas. God is good! Next year my dh, Tim, hopes to be working with Alan full-time in the garden, and possibly even get to be a part of one of the Farmer's Markets nearby. Tim has a dream to someday be able to do that on our own property, and this way he can try it out first to see if it really is for him.
DISCLAIMER: As mentioned in my first paragraph, I can take no credit for this garden. It was done by other staff members here.
I hope you enjoyed sharing our year's joyful harvest. Let me know if you were here.
You guys have the most amazing garden !!! I remember it well. Can you believe it has almost been a year sense I got to meet you !!! I want another visit !!! ((sigh)) Big extra Big (((((HUG)))))
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (12, 10 and 5) and a three year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
