On that note, my mom came over to dig in our garden a bit today. I love garden sharing! She is going to visit family and wanted to bring them some fresh produce from the harvest. There are still lots of potatoes, which can handle a frost or two, I hear. And lots of carrots, which even benefit from a couple of freezes! However, our corn is still probably about a week away, and the cold isn’t as friendly to that. Luckily, the dip below zero is just that. -1. If the prediction is right, anyway. So I’m thinking that corn is wrapped in enough green that it likely won’t be frozen to the core in one night that barely freezes. I hope I’m right. I really, really want fresh garden corn. Anyway, all that aside, we dug up a couple of potato plants, a few feet of carrots, and probably the last cucumber that will survive. I’m pretty happy seeing it all come out looking so good!
We pulled some carrots for our family as well, but left the rest to fend for itself outside. I really hope it all lives through the upcoming cold weather. Soon, I’m sure we’ll have a blanket of white on our yard. I’m not sure if I’ve talked about it at all, but if things go according to plan, we may not ever have a garden here again! With plans to move next year, I think the biggest thing we’ll miss about this place is the incredible garden plot in our big, beautiful yard. We’ll likely never have a property like this again, and we are so thankful for the space and open air here. But that doesn’t outweigh our desire to live in a new community that we know better and feel better about raising our kids in. So. We enjoy the garden in the now 🙂 Delicious!!!!
