October Gardening

So gardening for the summer is over. I'm afraid all I have left from the garden are herbs for my Thanksgiving meal. I've planted some seeds for kale, turnips and other greens for the winter. I need to set that up next to continue to garden through the snow. I'm thinking a clear plastic sheet will do it; we shall see.

The last of the carrots.

I sacrificed several carrots to allow these caterpillars to continue growing there. I must have counted at least four! I didn't know they were active even in October. 

Variety of herbs: parsley, dill, sage, basil and rosemary. These will be flavoring my baby's first birthday lasagna.

Overall it's been a challenge to maintain the garden and keep up with my growing baby that's now toddling around with more confidence. We'll see what winter brings.
