Fall is in the Air


It is September 22nd already!  Hasn't the summer flown by quickly.

Today marks the last day of Summer and the first day of Fall.  Fall officially starts at 4:44 EDT today.  That's 3:44 in Nova Scotia.   In 23 minutes time. 

To mark the start of Fall, I spent the day working in the garden.  This year we grew a really good crop of weeds in our vegetable garden.   It was sad to see the beautiful raised beds we had so eagerly built in 2011 overgrown with grasses and clover.  So ... today I spent a few hours weeding, turning the soil and generally getting the garden ready for a fall planting of garlic bulbs. 

 Gardening in Nova Scotia, fall garlic

We are trying three different varieties.  One I bought from a lady in Pubnico on Saturday at the Mile Long Yard Sale; another from Uncle Sids and the third from another local gardener. 


Don't they look nice all planted in a row.

Now all we have to do is  w a i t.
