    Garden Update September 2020

    Garden Update September 2020 - Sharing the state of our kitchen garden and reflection this September in photos and text 🙂

    Estimated reading time: 10 minutes

    Garden Update September 2020

    Garden Update September 2020

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

    Garden Update September 2020
    We built a new block/paver wall (to the left) around the strawberry/mint/flower (Zinnias, Black-Eyed Susan and Chrysanthemums) bed.

    Our kitchen garden has served us well in this Spring/Summer/Fall season where we quarantined, stayed home and social-distanced through this last half of 2020.

    Garden Update September 2020

    It's been a place for the kids and I to play, dig, plant, grow and relax - all with each other sharing quality family time. 

    Garden Update September 2020
    We added a DIY fire pit that Eric and I worked on with pavers we already had. We've been using it well for making s'mores and even cooking dinner!

    I would say that it has been time well spent!

    Garden Update September 2020

    The basil was abundant this year and gave way to many drinks and pestos.
