This content isn't available right now

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

I'm a bit tardy in posting these carrot photos, bu I'm a bit tardy in posting these carrot photos, but here are the gems I harvested just before Thanksgiving. They were in the last bed to be prepped for winter. Planted in mid-July, I managed to save them throughout the raised bed rebuild. I'm happy to say 1) the carrots are delicious, and 2) all beds are finally put to bed for the winter. No more hauling soil...time for a rest!
