Your 2025 Garden

The forecast was for on-and-off showers today, so I planned indoor tasks and errands. It sprinkled around 9 am, and that was it. Oh well.

Tomorrow, we should get hours of rain. So one of the errands was to get some more apples, and tomorrow I think I'll make some cranberry apple jam. Hubby can watch football. I'll make Christmas presents.

Here too. I even skipped the farmer's market thinking I'd have to deal with it. What we did get around 9:20 - 10:15 was so light I'm not sure it even registered. The truck that goes around spraying water on the horse track before a race to keep down the dust would've wetted the ground more.

The meteorologists are pretty sure we'll get a soaking tonight/tomorrow. I sure hope so. I hope it's spread out enough that it doesn't cause any flooding issues, but it will be what it will be.

There's a creek behind our house that has totally dried up. I can't recall it ever doing that in the 31 years we've lived here.

This is promising... I heard rain off and on all night long.

Nearly 2" in the bucket rain gauge!

I'm still feeling bleh from a tooth extraction on Friday, but managed to water my seedlings yesterday. No rain in sight for this week, at least.

I'm still gardening here in zone 8a.

I planted my cabbage late, so I added a trellis today. Once we get a frost forecast I'll add clear plastic. I had lettuce into January with that method.

Those are volunteer sweet potato vines in the back.

I recently weeded one of my carrot beds, the chickens appreciated the greens.

I've been harvesting turnips, greens, chard, and peas.

Still doing a little gardening here too. I think I've had a bit of a cold through the weekend so been moving slowly. Feeling on the mend now but still have the sniffles.

Over the weekend got another pan of butterbeans picked. Pretty much picked the vines clean. Calling them done for the year as they won't produce more since the temps have cooled. Will shell enough for a meal and dry the rest.

Have some cabbage ready. I will cook some for dinner tonight.

Very thankful for the rain we are finally getting! More on the way today. Cool, leaves and pinestraw falling, looks like fall is here!

Mustards need picking, brocolli not far behind.
Green onions looking good.

I have about 30 nice size collard plants waiting on a light frost. It really enhances flavor. I will cook a big pot full (or 2) to freeze some for the holidays and take some to eagerly waiting family members.
They have starting asking me about them. lol
