When Cade came home to celebrate his birthday, we put him to work!
He will tell you that this isn't unusual.... and he's right.
Cade knows this place like the back of his hand- he knows just what to do, and how everything works. We've been putting him to work around here for a very long time, but I kinda think he enjoys it- at least a little bit.
Today, the garden needed to be put to bed- meaning the corn shocks needed to be cut and bound- the tomatoes, peppers, kohlrabi, cucumbers, and squash plants needed to be pulled. Raspberries needed to be cut back.
Beans, peas, onions had to be pulled.
Pretty much everything, other than the carrots and parsnips needed to be ripped out.
It will all be rototilled back into the soil.
and trellises, etc. had to be stacked and put away...
While out there, we gleaned what we could. Of course, the carrots and parsnips will weather Winter under a layer of straw, to give us fresh vegetables throughout Dec., Jan., etc.
but we found a few, tiny ears of Selkie's favorite treat! Corn!
She was very grateful.
We picked some carrots to send back to school with Cade.
and then, we put those corn shocks to good use!
Decorating the front porch!
Happy Fall!
