Its late August and the growing season is coming to a close here in Pennsylvania… it’s a good time to reflect on the years successes and failures- what worked and what didnt? What would you like to try again? What would you like to change or expand on?
✨Did you grow your garden this year with help from me? If you got a Garden Guide in 2025, leave a comment or send a message with some photos of your garden. I would love to know about your thoughts, successes, failures and areas of improvement.
All the spring rain really gave our cucurbits an amazing start 💦 so we are harvesting plenty of cucumbers, watermelon, pumpkins and honeynut squashes! It was a great year for our perennials too as we harvested our first peach and are waiting on our first ever harvest of September figs. Strawberries were a success! The grapes were off to a good start in the beginning of the year but got ravaged by beetles. Next year I would like to focus more on simplifying my growing plan, I have also decided that while I love my tomato plants for their fruit and smell that they are way too unruly for the front of the garden 🤪🍅
I have been mostly quiet on this platform but that’s going to change next year- there’s plenty in the works for the 2026 season, including an expanded menu of services and so much more! So stay tuned…
