    • The pumpkins are all picked so I spent an evening tilling up the patch to prepare for a cover crop. Usually, I never do cover crops, but my good friend told me how annual rye works so well as a weed barrier in the pumpkins. So I'll sow the seed soon and hope for a weed-free patch next year! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ™β  (And if you look closely, you can see Kip enjoying the tractor ride too!)⁠ ⁠ #farmwork #farmlife #organicfarming #organicgardening #pumpkinpatch #covercrop
    • When life gives you lemons....you pile pumpkins. Usually I stack pumpkins as much as I can. This year, I didn’t have time to tend to the patch, so I had a lot of smaller pumpkins. With a grapevine wreath to help corral them, I'm fully on "team pile" πŸŽƒ! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #pumpkin #pumpkinseason #pumpkinpile #fallcolors #fallvibes #fallgarden #october #harvest #happyfall #falldecor #falldecorating
    • It’s the time of year where a frost or hard freeze is just around the corner. I retrofitted an old farm building to become a plant room and am starting the process of taking everything (yes everything 😳) in for the winter. As I do it, I've realized the plant problem I have πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ but I’m not stopping! Who's with me?! Happy Friday! ⁠ ⁠ #fallcleanup #fallyardwork #fallgarden #houseplants #houseplantcare #plantcare
    • Autumn arrived overnight: I woke up to 50-degree breezy weather and I LOVE IT! Stacked pumpkins now just feel so right πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒ. Not that the warm weather stopped me from putting them all over anyways πŸ˜­πŸŽ‰! ⁠ ⁠ #happyfall #pumpkin #pumpkinseason #stackedpumpkins #falldecor #gardendesign #fallgardendecor #BHGHowIHoliday #BHGFlowers
    • All of the lettuce I started inside at the beginning of August is ready to be picked! Beautiful heads of butter crunch, Tom Thumb, and romaine are going to be delicious salads soon. With this abundance, I’ll also use them in my morning smoothies!⁠ ⁠ #planting #gardenplanting #fallplanting #gardendesign #plantingtips #diygarden #instagardenlovers #instagardeners #gardenlife #organicgarden #raisedbeds
    • Everyone always wants to know if fall is a good time to plant... Well, the answer is that I plant spring all the way through fall! Through September, I plant trees, shrubs, and perennials. After September, it's restricted to trees and shrubs only. This Skylands spruce has tips of yellow and will be a beautiful backdrop in the backyard someday. The important thing to remember is water until the ground freezes and the roots go dormant. In my zone (zone 5), that means watering all the way though November! Happy planting!⁠ ⁠ #planting #gardenplanting #fallplanting #skylandsspruce #gardendesign #plantingtips #diygarden #instagardenlovers #instagardeners #gardenlife
