We had a productive morning, a fun-filled afternoon, and a crazy evening. After morning chores and goat pedicures, we pulled out all the veggies that did not survive the past few nights of frost and cleaned up the empty garden space for winter. Our gardens are still looking amazing! We have:
 |
The main kitchen garden.
|
 |
The box and pallet gardens.
|
 |
Swiss chard.
|
 |
Lovage and self-seeded borage.
|
 |
Carrots.
|
 |
Red lettuce.
|
 |
Green lettuce.
|
 |
Our second patch of chard, lettuce, dill and sorrel.
|
 |
One of two patches of kale.
|
 |
Daikon radish (earmarked for kimchi).
|
 |
Purple broccoli patch.
|
 |
Parsnips (will be harvested after a third heavy frost).
|
 |
Parsley.
|
 |
| Broccoli. |
 |
Cabbage.
|
 |
Chinese cabbage.
|
 |
Turnip.
|
 |
Baby breakfast radishes.
|
After lunch, we headed out for a forest walk to the tree stand.
For dinner, we roasted hot dogs in the backyard until Ian got called away for a work emergency. The boys were exhausted, full of chips and sugar, and misbehaving big time by this point. With Ali in the stroller and the big boys in separate time out spots, I rushed through nighttime farm chores and then put them all straight to bed after quick baths to wash off the oh-so-sticky roasted marshmallow ooze. I had all three kids asleep within five minutes of tucking them in.
It was a crazy end to a very full but gorgeous and fun weekend. This time of year is the best, though I could do without overtired, sugar crazed kids.
