Today in the Garden

Today our family did some work out in the yard.  Benjamin and Naomi mowed the grass, removed the dog doo, and generally tidied up the back yard.  Benjamin also removed the dead tomato plants.  I dug out the carrots, and Brendon dug up the remaining blue potatoes.

Both carrots and potatoes have been hit by the bugs.  We did get about 2 large buckets full of potatoes to store in the cold storage room.  The carrots probably only filled 1 1/2 plastic wal-mart type bags.  We also found a few extra onions and brought them in as well.  This pretty much wraps up our vegetable and fruit garden, but we do still have a few things left to do in the yard before winter.

Brendon moved the Contorted Filbert tree to a better location today.  It was in a really hot spot in the yard, and prefers part shade.  He also planted a new lilac bush on the side of the house next to the garage.
