Time to start tidying I think, to start to clear some of these overgrown beds. The tomatoes are still ripening (amazing, halfway through October!) albeit very slowly, and I have sweet peas and bulbs and things that I want to plant. This week I’ll be slowly clearing the tomato plants and hanging any green bunches from the bars on the ceiling where they’ll look extremely odd but they’ll continue to ripen on the vine. It’s a funny thing, this urge to clear out plants that are arguably still somewhat productive. It’s like an early spring cleaning sort of feeling, a desire to get the jump on next year already!

The garlic is finally in the ground…whew. My mantra for the past three weeks has been “Plant the Garlic!”, and although it doesn’t take much time to do, I just never scrambled together enough minutes to do it. So this morning, in 25ºF temps, I bundled up in a whole lot of woolies and planted that garlic. I had to scrape off the top inch of soil in the bed because it was frozen solid, but it’s all good, again the garlic is in? Last year, I didn’t get my garlic in the ground until November 11th, the next day, it began to snow. The rest of the morning has been spent digging up dahlia tubers, ripping up the remaining annuals, and taking down the rest of the vines and sunflowers. The garden is looking pretty naked, and it’s taken me forever and a half to clean it up, but it’s at the exciting point when you know that the prep you put in now, will give you a jump start on spring planting. So, with every pull and yank of a plant out of the beds, I’m already dreaming of what may be growing there next year. And remember, the beauty of a dream is that everything is possible?. Happy November everyone? . . . . . #inmygardentoday #mainegarden #growyourown #gardeninglife #organicgardening #veggiepatch #gardenersofinstagram #allotmentlife #autumngarden #vegetablegarden #kitchengarden #ediblegarden #homegarden #backyardgarden #gardentotable #herbgarden #gardenlovers #countrygarden #garliclovers

Absolutely love these arch trellises by @growing.in.the.garden ❤? Have you guys built your own garden trellis before? ? . . . ?️Garden Poem of the Day?️ . "The Gifts of the Earth" By Charles William Butler The gifts of earth, in summer, Are mild, reviving showers — The sunbeam and the shadow, Its ever beaming flowers; The rainbow's tinted gleaming, The songs of bird and rill, The evening stars' glad beaming, When all is hushed and still. The gifts of earth, in autumn, Are fruits of labor bold; The faithful sower reaps In harvest time his gold. It twines the wreath of gladness Around that son of earth, As he turns from care and sadness, To his joyous household hearth! . The gifts of earth, in winter, Are blessed gifts to man, The trophies of his labor, That he the past may scan, And view in memory's mirror Each joy and grief passed by, And read the heavenly favor In sunbeams on life's sky. The gifts of earth, in spring time, Are sparkling river streams, And gently opening flowers, In the sun's restoring beams. They come and go like shadows Athwart each sunny ray, And as the shower's bright rainbow, They beam to pass away. One season is unfading The spring time of the mind; It hath no final shading, But lasting gifts refined. The gems of thought shall ever Increasing beauty wear, To cheer man's path to Heaven, And crown with glory there. . ______________________________________________________________ .
