The First Day of Autumn in Pictures

Rather than lament the end of summer, the first day of autumn 2011 seemed like a perfect time to share a few photos of what’s growing around My Earth Garden.

This stair step raised bed was home to tomatoes, cucumbers and squash in the spring and summer. For the fall it has been refreshed and planted with onion sets, garlic, radishes, collards, turnips and kale.

We had such beautiful herbs throughout the season, I couldn’t bear to see them all go away. Still, we needed to be able to prepare the old herb bed for colder weather.  We dug the herbs up, trimmed them back and potted them, allowing us to keep the herbs growing indoors well into the winter months.
