It's time for me to pull all of the stuff out of the raised beds, and plant some rye and red clover and let that sit over the winter months. He planted four purple cabbage plants. Between injuries, working on the front porch, excessive heat, etc., this summer nothing got done to the gardens so it's growing weeds at the moment. After six weeks of PT I can finally walk again, but just barely.

Finished up the rest of the strawberry-rhubarb jam (a mainstay on toast!) and some more salmonberry juice. Dried some more kale chips. Started mowing the lawn in time for Labor Day. My raspberries are not ripe yet- in September! so am waiting on those. Potatoes are almost ready, as are carrots and onions; made spaces for them when they are harvested, but hoping to get in a few more sunny warmish days for ripening. What an odd year in the garden...
