Thankful

Thanksgiving is coming. What is there to be thankful for? There are a lot of things outside of the garden, but the garden has plenty too. The greens and radishes are unbelievable this year. There seem to be fewer bugs this year even though there has not been a hard freeze yet.

This was probably the best year since moving back into Charlotte for the garden. We had lots of tomatoes, peppers, patty-pan squash and eggplants. There were plenty of salads, mostly from the garden. The flowers are doing well. The compost bin is yielding 2 wheelbarrow loads per week. It is time to look forward to the next phase.

The greenhouse is going to need a major cleaning before it can be planted. The pots
were cleaned and disinfected when the planting was finished, but the windows and floor need cleaning as well as the heat pads and shelves. Quite a few plants were propagated and a place needs to be made for them. It would be nice to get 1 more heat pad and expand the planting.
