Saturday Garden Taking down the garden

 Hi Everyone!

There won't be many Saturday Garden days. While I was sick in bed, Mr. M. started breaking down the garden. Today I was able to wash 5 gallon buckets to put away. It breaks my heart that, for now, my garden days are over.

Last  year this area was filled with string beans, cucumbers and herbs. Onions are drying on the side. I had so many cucumbers last years that I canned dozens of pints of dill, sweet and bread n butter pickles. Also 50 pints of relishes. 

Behind the beans and squash was sweet potatoes, peas, and carrots. 

Now, it's all gone. We will get the palettes up and either stored away or off to the dump. 

It's going to be difficult to purchase from the store squash, onions, peas, beans, and everything else I have grown for many years. 

This is the squash area. I had a bumper crop of many different kinds of squash last year. 

The beans were long and so good.

The cucumbers huge and very sweet.

All of this just doesn't taste the same from the grocery store.

However, my Italian Oregano will go on the deck 

 

As well as the Saliva 

 

and Peppermint. I removed all of the branches and in a week this Peppermint will be taking over the pot again.

 

Some of you may remember that we had an old outbuilding here. I called it the barn.  

 It had to be removed.

 

The space that remains we let go wild. Mr. M. has planted a few things from the garden and we have a lot of flower seeds all around. I will put up the sprinkler to see what happens this year. 

 

 I guess that's it for now.

Wishing all of you a very nice Saturday.
