A one man job

This year Drew has had absolutely no help from my end but he is still determined to get us a great garden going.  By the time Baby Joel comes we should be able to just water and harvest.  Here is an overview of the set up so far.

Surprise Dill

I grew dill, oregano, and thyme in a separate pot this spring and summer, but when the dill went to seed it must have blown into one of the raised beds unbeknownst to me.  Yesterday afternoon we spotted a hearty dill plant peaking out from under the kale.  I love it when nature does the work for me.  I froze the dill I harvested earlier in the year, so this time I’ll experiment with drying.

You know who else is loving fall?

Willis has finally ventured off the cool concrete of the porch to rest (or pass out) in the grass.
