They love to help especially if we are working in the garden. It's a bonus if they get to dig in the dirt. 🤣
-
Having your kiddos help makes the chore take a little longer but it is worth it. They are learning basic skills and you are getting to spend some time with them. Make the time to have them help!!

Over wintering Strawberries in Your Greenstalk
-
Move your GreenStalk Vertical Garden towards your home or other heated structure for protection against really windy winter days.
-
Use a frost net cover on cold nights to help insulate the planter.
-
If you’re expected extreme cold weather, move your GreenStalk to an unheated garage or shed for a limited time.
-
Add straw to the top of the pockets to provide some additional protection.
-
Overwintering Strawberries in Your Greenstalk cold freezes the soil solid.
-
Even with the best winter care, there will be some plants that don’t make it. We typically get about 85-95% back year after year.

I have a problem....
-
I can't seem to walk past plants in a store and not buy them. 🤦
-
This time it was bulbs at Aldi's. But it's ok because fall is the best time to plant tulip, daffodil, and iris bulbs.
-
So buy to your hearts content and be sure to plant them before the frost.

The days are getting colder and pretty soon we will be building fires in the wood stove. I'm kinda excited!!

My dad loves to say that when you heat your house with wood you get warm twice; once when you split the wood and again when you add it to the fire place. 🥰

Her favorite part was building sandcastles until Grand dad showed them how to chase waves.
-
She ended up soaking wet and full of sand. We wouldn't change it for the world. The smiles and laughs were priceless.
-
Let them be kids, they only get to do it once!!

It came BACK!!!
-
Nature is amazing. I thought this fiddle fig was a goner after I forgot to water it before our vacation back in June but I was wrong.
-
It is looking great!! and I have remembered to water it at least one a week.

It wont be long before the leaves are all beautiful shades of yellow, orange, red and brown.

Here is your reminder to savor every moment and snap a few pictures along the way.

Pure JOY!!!
-
She loved her first beach adventure even though she got knocked down by a wave and ended up soaking wet. She was a sport!!
-
Covered herself in sand and rolled around. Definitely a 4th child and full of life.

Now is the time to make sure your berry bushes are ready for winter. Add a layer of compost, check the acidity levels of the soil and add a little fertilizer.

With a garden come bugs!!

And where I used to dislike them and shoo them away, now I love to see them crawling around and eating the BAD bugs.

What is your opinion on bugs?

Note to self.... next year plant the basil closer

Note to self.... next year plant the basil closer together. lol
-
Planting basil closer together will make the stems reach, giving you perfect stems for bouquets.
-
We had a few plants that didn't sprout and therefore our basil was spread. This is just 2/3 of one plant.
-
Not going to waste it though. Washing it, drying it and putting it in the dehydrator.

This ONE flower makes me want to grow more and more Dahlia's!!!
-
Next year I plan on dedicating two raised beds to Dahlia's!! They are beautiful and a great center piece to but bouquets.
-
When planning your cut flower garden make sure you are planting at least one flower that falls into the 5 elements of a bouquet, so that when you harvest you can create a balanced bouquet.
