The Garden Bed

Today we harvested the last of our produce from the garden. A few tomatoes, green peppers, cauliflower and one giant hornworm. We didn't know quite what to do with him so I put him on the compost pile and hopefully he will find some shelter from the weather.
After that the garden was officially put to bed with a load of sand and some extra top soil-manure to be added in the spring. I have to admit I looked away as the last of the tomato plants was disked under.
Darn these pregnancy hormones that make me cry at anything! I had a hard time keeping it together during the Lorax the other night.
Is anyone else getting tired of hearing about Frankenstorm? Okay, I guess I did spend most of the afternoon helping to put away potential projectiles but doesn't that just guarantee that it won't be as bad as originally forecasted? There goes that Murphy's law again. I suppose it was time to put the patio furniture away. It's sad to see the last vestiges of summer slowly disappear, flowers, vegetables and gatherings on the patio. I know what I'll do, I'll just look forward to Christmas.
