I am so tempted, but there's a lot on my list. I make little bungalows for the goats that way, using heavy tarps instead of clear plastic or plastic panels as for a greenhouse. We do get some heavy snow here, and I sweep them every time, but it only takes a minute.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-16409393162337522642013-10-14T17:37:12.472-04:002013-10-14T17:37:12.472-04:00We totally neglected our garden this year in favou...We totally neglected our garden this year in favour of running and knitting so it is lovely to see you still getting produce from yours.

Here in southern Virginia this is a great time of year for growing food. We have kale, collards, lettuces, and a nice variety of Asian veggies, with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, Brussels sprouts and much more on the way. We'll be harvesting sweet potatoes in the next week or two as well as planting our garlic and onions to overwinter. I love gardening in the fall! :)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640663629610290592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-80883762217975546092013-10-13T09:24:12.995-04:002013-10-13T09:24:12.995-04:00They really do look greasy!

(I pretty much stick to tried and true cucumbers). <br /><br />We're both putting the summer garden to bed and trying to finish getting the winter garden planted. September was dry, and I lost a few things because I didn't water enough. I'm curious as to what kind of winter we'll have this year.

However, it's a big expense that we keep putting off.<br /><br />Enjoy the fruits of your hard work!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-12679522295346158992013-10-12T15:37:27.286-04:002013-10-12T15:37:27.286-04:00Lucky you (and them)!
