Last Oct., I was talking about finally being able to get rid of a big boulder that the winter freeze broke up in to pieces small enough to move. Well, this year my trowel struck a hard spot while planting lettuce so at the end of the season I decided to check it out &found grandpa boulder has come up from the depths. I gave up digging when it became apparent that it weighs more than my Honda. Stuck an iron rod next to it as a marker & covered it up again. #gardening #Allotment @npub1nw7c...g0ek

It's been a while coming, but we are now starting to harvest carrots that we planted in April.This variety is "MoonRaker" and they average about 4 or 5 inches in length (100-110 mm). All planted in a pot ~ 18 inches/ 450mm in diameter and 16 inches/ 400mm deep. It took A LOT of watering to keep them happy during the summer heat, but we now will be able to harvest carrots as needed almost to December. 😀 #BeetBear #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #carrots @npub1nw7c...g0ek @a place for allotment folk

We send greetings to all of our gardening friends, both north and south, on the equinox. For us it means less sunlight and colder days ahead. BeetBear is taking the time to clean off his sign on our tool shed door. We're going to spend the day on more garden cleanup and compost duties. #BeetBear #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #Equinox #gardeningau #gardeningNZ @npub1nw7c...g0ek @a place for allotment folk
