Last Harvest and a Time for Garden Reflection


While Squeeker might be out of a home, I got the rest of my crops harvested this weekend and cleaned out the dead plants
My Last Harvest. Pretty much enough to feed my family for Thanksgiving, if they were the size of Barbies.
I even got ambitious enough to attempt transplanting a few of the good looking herbs that I had left in the garden.
Parsley, Rosemary and Sage
Having my first garden was a learning experience to say the least and for next year, I've already thought of  a few things that I need to remember for next year:
  • Plant the beets and carrots deeper and not near the corners
  • Plant the pea fences and plants on the farthest West side so the sun isn't obstructed during the most sun-filled parts of the day
  • Set up a mini cucumber patch outside of the raised garden box for pickling
  • Fertilize...and not when it's too late
  • Don't plant oregano, things just get weird
  • Herbs - need to figure out weather to have these in the garden or to have them closer to the house so that they are more accessible
  • Tomatoes...I'm not supposed eat them and Adam doesn't like them so what was I thinking?
  • More green beans should be planted, we really liked those
