The Raised Garden Beds Are Looking Pretty Tidy These Days

Yesterday the weather was perfect.  It started out a little nippy, then warmed up and there was a nice breeze. To top it off, I didn’t get bit by a mosquito once.

Maybe mosquito season is finally over? I think it might be. 

My big fall project is to get the rest of the fence panels stained before the weather turns. I probably have about a month {maybe less?} of decent weather to get the job done.

Yesterday I managed to get three panels {front and back} stained. I don’t know about you, but I adore white picket fences. 

Yes, they can be a pain to maintain, but they look so sweet and crisp and homey to me. Plus they make the green grass pop and make a garden look so much nicer in my opinion.

The raised garden beds are looking pretty tidy these days. Just carrots, leeks and a few peppers left to harvest.

I checked on the lima beans last night. The temps are supposed to dip down to the lower 60’s/upper 50’s here in a few days. So who knows if they’ll get any bigger. If not, I guess we’ll just have to have baby lima beans. 

We have six sugar pie pumpkins growing on the fence.

Four Jack Be Little Pumpkins that I could see.

And a couple dozen little spinner gourds. I plan on hanging some of the spinner gourds in the twig swag above that hangs above the doorway. 

Only a week to go until the first week of fall. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? I think I’m finally ready though. Are you?
