What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

I'll probably skip eating them, as I've had three kidney stones.

Good idea.

Weed tax.

All five of the littles with me. I got this just before Pip (center, minus her head) jumped down.

When I came home from work I decided to give some attention to the autumn gardens.

I weeded the carrot bed, replanting in the gaps on the left side of the photo below, and planting some leaf lettuce on the right side. The lettuce seeds were from 2022, so I planted them thickly.

I then weeded the turnip bed, thinned the plants, and replanted in the gaps.

Another volunteer!

Much better!

And I have turnip greens for supper tomorrow!

P.S. Tomatoes aren't ready to die yet...

So are you going to pot up those volunteer tomatoes and grow them as houseplants this winter?

Nope, but I did briefly consider putting them in a large vase of water. I really don't have any room to have plants indoors... if I did have a place for plants my cat would probably chew on them.

I decided to prune my overgrown Satsuma tangerine tree and this is what happened. I think I have an OCD problem.

I wanted to go get more persimmons and also go check on my tomatoes but I spent all day supervising my tenants moving out. They still have 1 more load to get tomorrow.

Morning all. Chilly here.

I even grabbed a bag of wood pellets in case the overnight lows chilled the house too much.

It was 59 in the house yesterday am & I was cold (work from home) so I kicked on the pellet stove. Never have I ever turned on any kind of heat in Sept before! It's been in the low 40s the last 2 nights.

Sungolds are still producing well, all the volunteers have completely taken over the garden, there are parts I can't even get to anymore.

Still in the 90s in Nebraska. No rain, so nothing to do but Fall clean up and odds and ends.
I'm working on the new wall for the coop with very little motivation besides doing it now before I have to dress like a polar bear later.
Allergies are knocking me on my butt despite all the shots. Doubling up on shots is making me insane, so i'll have to stop that and just suffer.
