THE CREW



Every garden needs a little help with maintenance.  BDWoo also has a lot of space to cover in our back yard. Some people would call this child labor but I think that since they are family we are off the hook.

In the Jennings family, it has become a rite of passage to ride Grandpa Woo's mower with him. They like to ride and they like to "drive" behind the wheel. It can put the kids in a great mood or it can put them to sleep. It's all good.

                                                                         Emma


                                                                 
                                                                          Aylah   (wow has she grown up!)




                                        Sometimes Grandpa Woo and Bo need a break.



                  Kids like to dig. Dig for bones, Dig for rocks.Dig for potatoes  Dig for anything.

                                                                                       


                                    When the parents are out of town, the grandkids pay the price.





                                                                                 
                             
    Bo likes to help too. This was from last year; he couldn't find his way back out of the garden!
                                                                         



                                                               Kids like to harvest too.


                                                              Picking cherry tomatoes.


              
And raspberries.



And finally, PUMPKINS!




Hey wait! That's not a pumpkin!!


            Soon the smaller pie pumpkins, Winter Luxury, will be pureed and frozen for future use. The                      Howden pumpkins ( jack o' lanterns ) will be carved and the seeds baked for snacks

 We celebrated Aunt Kitty's Birthday at our pumpkin patch. We wish Emma had been here with us too!



We have a rain barrel started and also a compost bin. They should both be ready for use in the spring!

I will still be canning black beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans and baked beans but none of them from my garden.  Next year........


Hope you enjoyed checking my garden and everything that became of it!

                                          SEEDS TO SHELVES.......AND MORE I found out this spring that I needed rotator cuff surgery and would have the summer off. It may sound good to people but you are very limited, at least at first, in what you can do because you have one arm. I decided that I would take advantage of summer and dive into my garden. And dive in, I did!                                                      AND SO IT BEGINS WITH SEEDS I had already planned to have a garden and with the help of my husband, BDWoo, we managed to add a few more raised beds. We both placed the screws and we both shoveled the dirt that we had delivered since our yard is red clay. We both pulled up fence and we both went to get compost. ...
