Gardening Photos From Our Garden – October 2022

October has been unusually mild, and many herbs and plants have spent most of the month outdoors.

We also set up our hydroponic grow systems and planted herbs and leafy greens indoors.

We continued planting winter greens outdoors, but it has been too mild to plant our garlic for next year.
