Snowing. First freezes this week, with harder ones expected this weekend. Picked everything (not very much!) that was even half way pickable.

Emptied the storage tank by deep-watering the trees & perennials; and drained the irritation pump & lines.

Pulled the yellow wax beans, and fed them to the chickens. After languishing in the heat all summer, they had finally started to bloom. We got one scant meal’s worth from 40 feet of them.

Worst garden ever.

We had a horrible garden this year as well. I feel your pain. My one success has been my little chicken co-op with my neighbor. We got our first eggs about ten days ago. And so far our white leghorn has been giving one egg a day. The sussex are slower.

Garden - echk. I just now remembered that I have a tiny row of carrots out there, so I guess I’ll check them out. Decent green beans after having to replant (deer) and a few tomatoes. NO bell peppers (deer, then weather) and pests got most of the rest.

Snow should start in about three weeks, maybe four. Sigh.

Yeh, I am sure glad we haven’t had that SHTF moment yet, cause my garden produce is way behind schedule.
