Your hair is so long!!! Glad you're getting things done up. We're still getting in 90s!! Crazy. Much love and hugs.
I loved that california garden it was a perfect size for
A home garden
We’ve had 3-4 killing frosts. Cabbage is y to he only thing alive.
Thanks for the garden updates and yes large gardens require lots of work to maintain. But you have done extremely well on your own with just a little help with infrastructure projects. Looks like the Zinnia and Marigolds are still going strong. Have a blessed weekend and sending prayers for mom..
Voles didn't get their usual treats from me this year. My sweet potatoes were decimated by deer and rabbits as young plants. Worst sweet potato year I've ever had.
I too live on a rock. I’m on the Pikes Peak batholith which is pink decomposed granite with very little top soil. We had our 24 x 50 foot garden and chicken co-op and run excavated so we have a flat spot and full day sun. We grow in raised beds for the most part. I completely understand growing on a rock. I was so saddened by your loss of top soil with this years heavy rains. By the end of the growing season I feel a sense of relief and know it is time to slow down, rest and recuperate. Then next year we do it all over again.
The garden looks so beautiful. This time of year is actually my favorite time to walk through ours. Something about putting the plants to bed for the season, and the beautiful stragglers (zinnias, luffa, etc). It is a time for rest.
Kaye, are you overwintering your pepper plants inside?❤️
LOVE, love, love the music!!! Thank you for showing your gardens. I can certainly understand the excitement of planting all the things–I've done it, too–just not to your extent!😂 I also understand flat land being at a premium. I live in a very rural county in Ohio, and my yard is probably the only hilly yard there is! There's flat land beside the creek–under all the trees. The biggest piece of flat land is where previous owners have placed the garden. We enlarged it a little last year. This year I put 2 raised beds on a sliver of flat land right next to the neighbors. I find it funny that with 10 acres, that is all I can do. The front flower garden is an apothecary garden now, and it does quite well. We added 4 fruit trees this year, and I really want to do so much more. But slow and steady wins the race. I have my first and only crop of luffa hanging out in a garden that has all been turned into a fall/winter garden. With the low temperatures, I'm not giving them much hope. I'll start the luffa seedlings earlier next year. Still praying for you and your mom. ❤
I must say that your perseverance sure did pay off that's great haven't seen your posts for a while , wondering about your Mom is she still with us? Good to see you dear Kay ❤️
I would love to see you do the "three sisters" method down there next year in the large open spot. You might even be able to do it twice, spring and fall. With summer squash and zucchini and snow peas or winter squash and pole beans.
Wish I had some of those white sweet potatoes. I haven't seen those in years. ❤
You are amazing!
Hello there dear kaye, my goodness me just look how long your beautiful hair is.very pretty.i truly enjoy your videos, you have changed your land,garden ,home stead so much from when you first arrived. Im thinking of amount you have achieved ,I have been so pleased when you get much needed help. Pretty flowers hanging on as long as theycan,phew end October already ..im sending my love and thankyou s,to you and your lovely cats too.xxxfrom me and my garden girls xxits sat evening here nowxxnight night bless you,xx
What a beautiful ending to a plentiful garden, all the wildflowers have such lovely color and to see the bees still there too. Exciting to see them! Soon you’ll be sledding down your hill with the neighbors and their girls.. like last year. Wishing you a great afternoon!
Nice finale for the garden at the end of the season, Kaye. Those zinnias look like they don't want to let go. I have about 17 luffa on the vines waiting to ripen. Hoping they all get there before our first frost here in north Texas, which is due in about 3 weeks.
Luved the tour
We had a hard freeze on the 15th, 25°. It killed almost everything, including my beautiful zinnias. I tried protecting a few things under ag fabric, but it didn't help. All that remains are artichokes, bronze fennel, and Swiss Chard. Soon, I'll plant my garlic and mulch the rest of the beds for winter. 😮 Maybe I'll get some better protection for next year. It's a shame because after 2 cold nights, it's been lovely with sunny days in the 70's and 80's. I could've probably had at least another month of growing.
The only thing blooming in our yard now after a day frost/freeze are the Asters. The butterflies and bees are all over it. Some of the flowers, e.g. Lanta, Impatience & Pansies are struggling to still put forth new growth & flowers. I struggle with do I pull them now or let them go "naturally". I'm letting them go. We did clean up the main garden area today. At my age, 76, I'm wondering how many more years I have to do this. Loved seeing your garden. I need to plant sweet potatoes next year. Haven't planted any the past few years. Miss them. Our second daughter has helped us a lot these past couple of years, but she's no spring chicken at pushing 53. I planted enough garlic last year to last for two years, so I'm OK on that. Need to finish canning apples. We are in SW Missouri and when we moved here from Wis., that for every rock you pick, it will have 10 babies! Our fence line borders STONE COUNTY! I think more than a few have snuck over!!
Love the music leading into this video😊
I just LOVE the filming of your garden with the lovely music 🎶 in the background.
It’s a good feeling to put the garden to bed. My fall squash still growing and peppers, I hope my cauliflower and cabbage make before the hard freezes come in February
Beautiful peppers and flowers ❤
Lovely music!
