Welcome.

The last of the dahlias.

The potato beds.

This has been the kids' garden space.
But as they become more involved in the family garden as a whole,
I have hopes to reclaim it and make it a "witch's garden" with herbs both healing and delicious.

Autumn is in full swing around here, and last week I finally put our garden beds to rest for the season.  Except for the ones with carrots in them: unless it snows, we'll keep pulling them fresh out of the ground as we need them all winter.

We're not the greatest gardeners ever, but every year we learn new things.  And every autumn when we cover the beds with leaves raked from the yard, I can't help but imagine what we'll fill them with in the springtime.  

It's one of those times when an ending feels just like a clean beginning.

Which is a little like this blog.
