Evan and I extended the size of our garden last Fall with the rototiller, and doubled the size for this spring/summer. Wow! We not only grew as many veggies as possible, we actually had a huge yield as well. The space held 6 types of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, swiss char, green peppers and hot peppers, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, an entire herb section, and beautiful sunflowers. On the side we also had 5 types of tomatoes in their own cozy little wooden homes. We experimented a lot with the food on our new BBQ and also featured a spread for every Artwalk we hosted. (as well as sent every friend home with a bag o’ goodness ) Sadly the time has come to once again to rototill it, and put the remnants back to the earth. Next year we are leaving the ground fallow to re-energize the soil for 2011. We have already prepared a full legend for our planting needs in the future. I must say my favorite time in the day is the morning, and watering the garden with the sunrise was ‘oh so dreamy’. Thanks to the earth for providing us with such riches.

p.s. we have one pumpkin growing to enjoy at Halloween!
