Making Hay

Mowing the tall grass on the low ground

Mowing the tall grass on the low ground

The sun is shining and our neighbor is making hay on our low ground.  The photo is from last summer.  The only thing that’s changed is the garden, and this has been a different year for the garden.

Can you believe we picked peas in August?  Yes, we did!

Sylvia did two plantings of green beans.  It would have worked well if we hadn’t had bunny visitors. Nevertheless we were still picking green beans late in September.

Zucchini was poor this year.  Instead of an over abundance, we had barely enough for the summer.

Parsnips must have drowned in the wet spring time.  Fortunately, Sylvia froze some of last year’s harvest.  Parsnips went well with last night’s shepherd pie.

We should have an excellent asparagus harvest next year, Lord willing.  This summer, I blanched and froze some while Sylvia was with her dad.  When we tried it recently, we found it to be very good.

We are already thinking about next year’s garden.
