We've had glorious weather for October and it's hard to believe that the gardening season is drawing to a close. I am definitely trying some cold frame growing this year and some winter sowing. Gardening is just too much fun to give up for a few months.
Still being so blessed with my mom's visit. I can't explain how special it is to be able to sit in the evenings and chat with her, watch a show together, even just sit quietly while we both read. I'm so happy to have these memories to store up and treasure.
Took down the lettuce bed, corn bed and part of the bean bed today. I want to ammend the soil and then plant my winter rye (green manure). Chopped a big kettle of tomatillas tonight for salsa verde. We're getting excited to see Andrew later this week on his fall break.

Welcome October!
Well it will be a wonderful October this year...my mom is here in Cincinnati for her birthday month! We've already had a great start to the month with a Birthday Celebration on the 3rd for mom's 72nd birthday! It was so fun to have her here on her special day to treat - it's been quite a few years since we've been together for her birthday.
Then yesterday we went to Tall Stacks
- a Cincinnati Festival that happens only every 3 or 4 years. This year 18 steamboats have come and docked along the riverbank. The day was a balmy 85 degrees. We got to hear many of the music groups perform, including The Real McCoys - an Irish group who sang one of my dad's favorite songs, "Loch Lomand". We are off to a good start to a fun month!
