Fall Harvest

It has been way too long since my last post...  I bet you were on pins and needles wondering how the lettuce was shaping up!  Well, I'm here to tell you that the Fall garden is just as amazing and fruitful as the Summer garden-  and with our new garden fabric, even prettier to look at.  Props go to Dad farmer for tending the crops while I've been otherwise occupied...  so happy that we have this project to share in together.

Here are the most recent photos, taken this past Sunday-  what a perfect day.


Beautiful Pumpkins...


My new birthday overalls-  yayyyyy!!  My husband sure knows how to make me happy...  (also in photo, giant cabbage plants-  notice the difference in the ones planted with fabric compared to the ones just in dirt at the end of the row. )


Red Leaf Lettuce-  as delicious as it looks.


Buttercrunch Lettuce-  probably the best lettuce I've ever tasted.


Romaine Lettuce-  so crunchy!


Iceberg Head Lettuce-  this is NOT that bland white stuff you're used to.


Row of Iceberg


Dad & Ash


The first glimpse of the Broccoli


Turnip Greens!


Turnip & Eggplant


Savoy Cabbage


Red Cabbage


November WATERMELONS!  (Dad won the bet!)


Nice shot of me, my overalls, and a beautiful head of Iceberg.


We also drove up to Ellijay and visited several apple houses-  returning with tons of fresh orchard apples and fruit pies.  We had a GREAT day, and we are eating like kings this week!
