I haven't spent as much time at the gardens lately because its been hot and my work has been picking up. We had a long heat spell and it has really taken a toll on the plants. Even the tomatoes are looking tired. Hard to believe but even they have slowed down on production. It seems as though the end is near for the pizza sauce and salsa projects.
Looking back on the garden, there was a fun project that we did this summer. We made a scarecrow to keep watch over our crops and honestly, just because. There was a couple of times that the high winds knocked him down and his hat went sailing. Eventually a storm did take him down. This week he is officially back up, complete with a new shirt and everything!
The Fall crops have been planted and soon we will be enjoying more beets, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, and peas.
This long Labor Day weekend, I am looking forward to the Seed Savers Exchange annual Tomato Tasting at their farm in Decorah, Iowa. They showcase numerous heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables. I also need to make another batch of pickles, pizza sauce, and salsa. For some reason, I think this weekend is going to fly by...
Happy Labor Day Weekend-
