Happy Thanksgiving!

Things have turned quite wintry.  We had our first freeze a couple of nights ago.  I've covered the dahlia bed with two big bags of leaves, then laid plastic sheeting over the whole bed. 

All the greens and root crops are still fine.  For Thanksgiving I made a potato leek gratin, with everything from the garden.  It was yummy.  Today we had white bean and kale soup. 

I still have lots of weeding to do, but right now it's too cold.

New Herb Bed

Today I dug out all the raspberries to take to Dave and Marna.  Then I fertilized the bed and planted a row of garlic.  Next I moved my herbs from against the back of the house into the new bed.  I now have sage, parsley, marjoram, oregano, thyme, and chives.  Next spring I'll put in some dill.  Maybe something else, who knows.





I also dug up the Beckyberries, boysenberries, and four blueberry bushes to take to Dave.
