Gardening Photos From Our Garden – September 2022

For us, September equals harvest time with quite a bit of cooking and preserving while squeezing every last bit of the growing season.

The month of September is usually mild but temperatures do drop at night. Some container plants are moved indoors while others have to wait for at least another couple of weeks.

Our herb garden is still doing quite well and our winter greens are coming along nicely.

You must contact us for permission to use any of our photos.
