Putting the Garden to Sleep

Remember this photo from the summer of the main garden?


Or of our herb garden, full of herbs, tomatoes, and peppers?




Well, today, William and I put the gardens to bed. We pulled up the remaining plants, some with peppers and tomatoes still on the vines, stacked up the stakes, and rolled up the hose & sprinkler. Now the garden is asleep for the winter, save for the one lettuce plant in the main garden and Brussels sprouts(?) we have in the herb garden. This is what we have now:






All is resting for the next great summer of production, where we have bigger, better fruits and vegs (and not so many identifiable squashes).
