It’s been forever since I’ve posted, I know (I know!). Busy summer and busy fall. We are finishing up the canning…just apples and squash left. I’ll post more on the garden totals next time. A really good harvest this year.
I am making it a goal this year to update both this and my And Another Thing blog on a regular basis.
Putting in the garden. Some of the plants got a little nipped by a rogue frost last week, but seem to have survived.
We have doubled the size of the garden this year. The DR Power Tiller has made this possible. We have sections of the garden area that are very heavy in clay. I don’t think we could have increased the size in time for plant with our walk behind tiller. I’ll post pictures later, but here’s a run down of what is planted in the ‘big’ garden so far:

As I twittered yesterday, Dennis & I went out and about on a couple of errands yesterday. We went back to the farmer who we had bought those tremendous tomato plants last year. You know the ones, they grew about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide and gave us tomatoes well past the first frost. You remember:
Has spring finally arrived in Northern Ohio?
