We did have a hard frost that finished off the garden a couple weeks ago right at the same time my Dad experienced a health crisis requiring my to venture out west for a couple weeks. Now that I'm home, fall gardening clean up will be a priority this week as our ground should begin freezing very soon.<br />Blessings to you and yours,<br />Mrs.BMrs. B, a very peculiar personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579160731517930694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-2878270562337974222015-11-02T04:07:52.382-05:002015-11-02T04:07:52.382-05:00We havent had a frost here as yet, but i have near...We havent had a frost here as yet, but i have nearly finished in the garden just some shrubs to cut down, i feel the same i find it difficult to get out in the garden in the autumn, yet the spring i cant wait to get out there. All our summer veg is over i just have to take down the beans and canes, i have some "january king" cabbage that i hope will give us some veg in early spring. Thats a good idea about spreading the grass and leaf clippings.<br />Suethe warmfireplacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-33238319055273474222015-11-01T21:09:47.218-05:002015-11-01T21:09:47.218-05:00I asked my hubby,who is the "grow person"...I asked my hubby,who is the "grow person" here-abouts...he says the only reason to plant garlic in the fall is for larger bulbs.

We usually do our school work in the morning and early afternoon. Gardening gives us a great excuse to get outdoors and get some exercise. The most time consuming part of gardening is the harvesting, so we take the busiest season off from school, which for us is August and early September. I'm sure you will find a method that works for you, whether that is working in the garden on Saturdays, early mornings, or after school.<br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-80489202667206181502015-11-01T17:21:11.506-05:002015-11-01T17:21:11.506-05:00I don't think it needs to freezer.

You can plant garlic in the spring, but fall planted garlic has a longer growing season and makes nicer heads, I think. <br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-10216725670748001782015-11-01T12:14:17.684-05:002015-11-01T12:14:17.684-05:00Does garlic require a freeze time to grow?

My uncle wished he could grow them in California, but said he'd have to dump ice on it all winter!<br /><br />Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-86478035478812910562015-11-01T11:38:22.330-05:002015-11-01T11:38:22.330-05:00We haven't been able to have a garden for a fe...We haven't been able to have a garden for a few years due to having to rent a house where we moved to. However we recently bought a house and we will be setting up a garden in the spring. When I last had a garden (3 years ago) I didn't have 2 children homeschooling and my only child that was homeschooling was not as old, obviously. So now there is more to do with homeschooling. I was wondering how you work out the hours you homeschool and the hours the garden needs. Of course gardening is also learning and really learning is a lifestyle but at some point the other subjects need to be done too. I really don't know how to work this out properly.

Hubby has it all cleaned up,but hasn't been able to till because it's too wet. He also has to put the straw on the strawberries. I did clean out my flower beds and get rid of the plants out of pots. The porch looks so bare! Soon I can decorate with evergreen and such..which I also love to do!Barb Wrightnoreply@blogger.com
