If the weather forecast is correct, we have another 10 days before we lose pretty much everything in the garden. I’ve enjoyed having the squash that came up volunteer but it will be kinda nice not to try to figure out how I’m going to fix squash every night!
Garden
Green onions, squash and cilantro.
Every now and then, especially after having had a bad garden, I think . . it’s so much work and it takes so much water . . maybe I won’t have a garden . . but then I remember how much fun it is to pick and eat the things I grew and I know . . I’ll always have a garden of some kind.

Yes! I, too, am so thankful for the garden. Even tho I don’t have the strength and flexibility to do it up really nice, between the 2 of us we somehow manage to get a good sized garden in every year . So far. But I had to chuckle at your comment about figuring out how to fix summer squash every evening. One of the things I like about autumn, is the absence of summer squash in our garden. For a few weeks. And then I’m scrounging around to see if there might be just one more zucchini hiding out there. 🙂 But seriously, the vegetables of autumn are a lovely change from summer’s fruit. Butternut squash and its cousins, eggplant still going strong, sweet potatoes so fresh and crisp, Brussels about ready, Swiss chard taking off again in the cooler days, a few green bells hanging on. And of course, pumpkin. Such richness. We are blessed.
