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.

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!

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