The Garden Comes Full Circle

It seems like only yesterday the garden was vibrant with brilliant yellow squash, tall tender stalks of corn and high reaching green beans. But then death comes. It always does. And it always seems like its too early. But there's always next year.

We can bring gardening indoors. We can even have tomatoes and peppers growing indoors with the proper growing equipment like grow lights, peat pellets or garden starting supplies. But it won't be the same.

We can plan next year's garden. The kids love this. We brainstorm new ideas. We talk about what didn't work this past gardening season and what did work. We'll talk about garden things we didn't get to do this gardening season and plan to implement them in next year's garden. So really, gardening is a year round thing even in the coldest winters.

Ah! The harvest...It's time again for the harvest. What do you do for harvest? Plan a get together and have a harvest celebration.

Happy Harvesting!
