    Garden Update August 2020

    Hi Everyone, it's time to do a garden update on our kitchen garden for this month of August 2020. 

     Garden Update August 2020
    Chive flowers (in white)

    I took these photos at the very last weekend in August.

    Basil - it's doing well this year
    Garden Update August 2020

    I've been making lots of Basil Pesto this year

    Garden Update August 2020

    I like how there are so many different, interesting elements in the garden, you can kinda just wander in there. We didn't build it all at once so it doesn't all look the same - and it just works!

    Garden Update August 2020

    I would love to add some more wood chips to the walk ways, now that the garden beds are more defined with borders.

    Garden Update August 2020

    The garden has been such a saving grace during this pandemic.

    Garden Update August 2020

    This year I have been spending so much more time in there, pulling weeds, planning ahead or just sitting and watching the plants grow.

    Garden Update August 2020

    I can't believe September is almost here and Fall is just around the corner! I have some ideas for Autumn garden cleanup and organizing before next season.

    Garden Update August 2020

    Thank you for reading and following along!
