It's the time of the season to wind down the garden around here, and as usual, I'm excited, but not with the typical relief/panic that i usually experience. The setup this year was about 1/4 the normal size and reduced to only wicking tubs. It's been such little work, that it's tempting to migrate everything to that growing method eventually.
To make life even simpler, I opted for a mostly eat-fresh yield. I've lived most of the spring & summer months off of salad, cucumbers, melons, and local beef. I know I'll regret this choice, come February, but its been a much needed break. The last few years have been overwhelming. The closest thing to preservation i need to deal with, is drying some beans & herbs, and curing tobacco.
On that note, second year of tobacco went much smoother than the first. No weird viruses. No bolting. Just a couple plants instead of a dozen... I've never done anything with it, but from loose reading & eyeballing, I think there's enough to roll at least a few small cigars to give out for the holidays.
...and I have 1 pumpkin, perfect for a pie. 😊
