This journal is a place for the Davies family to record our gardening experiences throughout the year. By recording the successes (and failures) we can learn from these experiences and make the garden more fruitful each year.

Harvesting and fall cleanup
Grandma Olive was a big help today in the garden. After we got home from having lunch at school with Kaitlyn we went out and harvested most of the herbs, the broccoli, celery, beans, and a bunch of arugula. I didn't think the big pumpkin was ready because it doesn't look completely orange, but when we knocked on it the pumpkin definitely sounds ripe so we cut that off of the vine. I'll have Al bring the pumpkins into the garage tonight so they don't freeze. While harvesting the herbs I potted up 3 rosemary plants and a sage plant to keep growing inside over the winter. We also pulled a whole bunch of weeds to clean up the planting boxes before I turn the soil over before it snows.
