The garden has been going great. We must have put up over 30 pints of green beans, loads of tomatoes, potatoes, turnip, carrots, and kale. I put the radicchio in a few weeks ago. We harvested the basil and made about 60 ounces of pesto. I am starting to pick hot peppers and make hot sauce.
The weather is slowly starting to cool. We'll be able to get some late season spinach in. I give the tomatoes only 4 weeks before they are spent. The green beans are still flowering! Looks like we'll be picking them well into October.
As I was mowing the grass this weekend I noticed the leaves starting to fall from the maple trees. Autumn will start in three weeks.
The wife and I had a big family reunion this Labor Day weekend. The weather was perfect! Friends and family were able to come from near and far. Quite a few of the people had not been to our property, and there were tours of the barn, gardens and the creek. There were even tractor rides for the kids!
I still have some roofing repairs and trim painting to get done. I also want to put a sump pump in the basement (it was just 1 year ago that this area suffered through epic flooding).
There is always a chore to do around here . . .
