I don't get quite as excited to say goodbye to fall and welcome winter, but the older I get, the more I am able to embrace it.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-47636687289858975602015-08-24T10:32:23.546-04:002015-08-24T10:32:23.546-04:00I, too, am ready for fall. funny how at the start...I, too, am ready for fall. funny how at the start of a season I go ahead and start worrying over how it won't last long enough and such.... but then by the time a new one is knocking at the door I am more than ready to embrace it. such is life, I guess. a good lesson in many ways.<br /><br />the coneflower that I purposely planted isn't doing all that great... yet the ones that have seeded themselves and I've largely ignored are thriving! much like the tomatoes I planted in the ground next door instead of throwing on the compost heap (they were leggy, root bound starts I had no room for in our garden) that are now doing so much better than the ones I've got in our garden! hmmm...<br /><br />hope your rain comes soon!<br />xoamandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-54847374664321002632015-08-24T07:37:58.504-04:002015-08-24T07:37:58.504-04:00I love butternut squash :) The shift is more than...I love butternut squash :) The shift is more than welcome over here!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-27729690841110783422015-08-24T00:38:57.865-04:002015-08-24T00:38:57.865-04:00crazy how that tiny little caterpillar can cause s...crazy how that tiny little caterpillar can cause so many problems! wow! love your volunteer coneflower and black eyed susans :) i have been trying to grow them here with not a lot of success. i have been feeling "the shift" lately too. it's kind of crazy... one moment the wind picks up and it feels like fall is here... then suddenly the sun burns through the clouds and summer is back with a fury. i am so ready for fall now. i am craving rain. :)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603715564588824506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-47320370610120016912015-08-23T11:25:05.769-04:002015-08-23T11:25:05.769-04:00thank you! really it's just the step of allowi...thank you! really it's just the step of allowing it to fully dry in a well ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, after you harvest it. doing so will prolong how long you can store it.<br />cheers!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-45492213400138997392015-08-23T11:23:32.172-04:002015-08-23T11:23:32.172-04:00thanks, Cory. it is small and sweet and the plant...thanks, Cory. it is small and sweet and the plantings are spreading out so it's starting to look a bit wild and crazy, which I love. we do need to get in there and clean out all the muck from the bottom before it gets cold this year, but we've got a little time.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-52394395356516237552015-08-23T11:20:35.903-04:002015-08-23T11:20:35.903-04:00hot pepper plants produce SO MUCH!
