Hi Everyone!
Today is T-Tuesday. The party that Bleubeard and Elizabeth holds each week. The way to get in is to make a post and feature a drink.
My post today is the closing of my garden.
Boo hoo hoo.
We have already started
to get rain so it's time.
|
Containers washed and sanitized for next year. Oh they will come inside before the weather hits.  |
Containers with soil that will be refurbished for next year.  |
|
The big garden tied down and ready for winter. Mr. M. fixed it so the water will run off the tarp. I personally think it should have a bigger hump in the middle. Mr. M laughed at me. Once it was done he put the hose to it andddd... well he was right. The water rolled right off. Darn... :)  |
I'm still hoping goodness from these potatoes. They are really strong and healthy.  |
|
Isn't this cool? It the roots from one of my bean plants.  |
It's perfectly dry  |
|
 |
All I see is the most amazing spirit doll.  |
please email me.

Now for my drink. I am getting use to the instant coffee and even have a cup in the evenings.

I don't think we would ever get used to instant coffee here. But then I don't like coffee. Glad you are getting used to it. very interesting artwork. I like the purple and green together. Happy T Day.
It is sad to close up the garden, isn't it? I need to go and clean up mine. And those roots are really cool. Could you use them to make another spirit doll. Your other doll is amazing. Happy T day Nicole. Hugs-Erika
That dried root system is amazing looking!
That bundle of twigs does look promising for a spirit doll … I look forward to the pictures of her.
best… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
...soon I will be cleaning up my garden.
Glad you found a spirit doll in your garden - back to the roots, so to say! Have a good week, take care, hugs, Valerie
There are an amazing number of details on the Spirit Doll. I really like the tiny bottle.
Sad post! Good-bye summer...
Oh, I´m freezing my butt off here.
Heating does not work... Tea, day, hot T-Day!
You and you hubby are so organized. Impressive clearing of the garden.
I see the spirit doll in the roots too - so cool!
Lovely spirit doll remaining in your series - you are soooo talented.
Glad the instant coffee is working out.
Happy Tday Nicole. Hugz
Good morning, loving your spirit doll and roots are cool aren't they? Happy new week Kathy
I don' care for instant coffee, but coffee kick starts every day for me and I am sitting here with my second cup as I write this note!
I could not drink instant coffee, but then I'm not the biggest coffee fan anyway.
Beautiful, amazing, lovely, fantastic spirit doll....as always.
Congrats on such strong and healthy potatoes, Nicole! ... Never seen in early Autumn.
There's a symbol of messianic judaism on your beautiful and colourfull doll. Isn't it? Nice artwork :-)
I also like instant coffee, but I have never had it in the evening. Just visited Elizabeth's website, where I have seen a great idea about pumpkin roll. Perfect in Autumn. I'll find out its recipe.
Enjoy the rest of the week, Nicole :-)
Hi Nicole!! running a little late here...So no chance of a Fall garden? Where do you live?? The idea of a Spririt Doll is amazing! What a creative soul you are!! I like the one you made.. Do you make many and sell many? I always remember my Grandmother used to drink instant coffee.. If i ever had it i don't remember.. Happy T day! Hugs! deb
The roots of your bean plants look fantastic and I can see a spirit doll as well. So - will you use it and create? I'm glad that I never have to completely close down the garden, there is always something going on even in the winter, but it certainly is the time to clean out some plants and trim and cut back. I like that kind of work as I see most of the "bones" of the garden and can plan some new parts. I plant in the fall, so this is a busy time. Happy T day, Nicole.
You are very organised with your garden, making me feel very guilty/lazy.
I remember using instant coffee to make a flavored coffee but can't remember the flavor... Cinnamon, maybe? Orange? Who knows...
It looks like y'all are set for the winter.
Happy T Tuesday
Sad to see the garden put to bed for Winter. Himself got a nice crop of potatoes and I hope yours turn out well, too. How cool to see a Spirit Doll in the bean roots. Your Spirit Dolls are amazing. Happy T Day
Fabulous to get everything organised and closed down ready for next year. Looking back on your posts you had so much veg from your garden this year - yay 😊. Your spirit doll is amazing! Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
Your potato plants are looking healthy. I still haven't pulled mine yet and I am hoping for a good crop as well. I will have to clean up my garden soon as well but I am still getting some tomatoes and peppers.
Love your doll. The twigs will add great texture to a doll.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I'm still harvesting herbs and summer is still hanging on here. So sad when you have to close your garden, but the potatoes look good. So do the roots that I am sure you will soon turn into a spirit doll. I also like your green and lavender one, too.
I'm glad you like that instant coffee. I have to have the real thing, because I am hooked on caffeine, my drug of choice. thanks for sharing your garden, your spirit doll, and your coffee with is for T this Tuesday, dear Nicole.
I love that you have mastered that huge garden project. Wow -- impressed and impressive. I felt like I'd accomplished something just cutting back the black-eyed Susans and so much more to do! Love the dolls, too. Happy t day.
Oh you are so organized! Everything looks neat and clean (as it should be) Well done you!
Those roots are truly beautiful.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I've been out tidying up the garden too, it's very cold now in the mornings. Never seen dried roots like that, it's very cool. I could never get used to instant coffee lol. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx
