Well, the weather is giving me some extra time for outside tasks and still so much to do! Need to just pull the tomatoes and close the garden down, prep space for garlic planting and get that done in the next week. I had to order some more seed, because mine just didn't look the greatest this year and asters yellows is making it's way around. The winter greenhouse is started, with micros and pea shoots and I'll be getting the first salad mix planted today - better late than never!!
