Adventures in Square Foot Gardening
So, it was 70 degrees yesterday and is the same today and tomorrow, with evening lows only in the 60s. It surely doesn’t seem like it is 10 days to Christmas! So, in the spirit of experimentation, and since I have a whole lot of open squares in the garden, I’m trying some winter gardening. (Thanks to FoxCarolina for the forecast image!)

Once again, medical issues got in the way of gardening. After my surgery, my husband had a burst appendix and spent two weeks in the hospital. This fall just totally got away from us, but we’ve caught up a bit this weekend! On thanksgiving weekend, we have a lot to be thankful for!

First, let me apologize for waiting so long between updates. It’s been almost six weeks since the last post. In the interim, I had emergency surgery and we had an astounding amount of rain. We were lucky here in the Upstate and “only” got 6″ of rain in three days. Our hearts go out to those in Columbia and on the coast who were literally inundated and suffered from disastrous floods.
Not actually a photo of SC, but this is what it looked like for two weeks!

It’s Labor Day and officially the end of summer. All seersucker wardrobe items and white shoes are put away. Don’t tell the butterflies, though!
They’re loving the zinnias! We’ve had a few other visitors over the past week too…
Summer is officially over now that school is back in session and it seemed like the right time to clean up the garden and get the fall seeds planted.
You can see the bed ready to start the root vegetables! …
