Subscribe The goat yard has been dug out!
The build-up from the year’s accumulation of hay and poop and sheep and a giant calf that stood over six inches at the fence line here is now gone.
This eliminates the drainage problem created by all the build-up. However, the job is not done.
The next step is supposed to be grading and smoothing all this out and growing some new grass for the goats, but it’s been raining. A good bit of the mess did make it to a pile in the garden, though.
I think this means we can now call this garden done for the year.
It was a good garden. It always came to work on time, wasn’t too wet or too dry, and produced a lot of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplant.
It didn’t account for much else, but it was a cheerful worker.
Garden 2011 stands now in a state of ruin.
Admirers mourn and yet–
–look forward to the future!
There’s always next year. One late winter day, the seed catalogs will start arriving. The snow will melt. Tiny pots will fill with seedlings. The hay and poop will be spread to nourish a new dream! It will be the best garden ever!
“See you next year, Garden.”

I was very fortuate to have put a plastic roof over my tomatoes, they are finally ripening enough to pick some besides cherry tomatoes. My garden is about gone also, it marks a time finished with canning and freezing most vegies for us also. This has been our best garden yet. Love your blog, thanks for taking the time for us.

You are inspiring me to get outside and begin my clean-up.

Your garden is finished now? I am still collecting ground cherries, chichiquelites (how did your’s do, btw?), peppers, tomatoes, parsley, spinach, and green onions. Do you have another garden with the cool weather stuff in it? Mine keeps producing until a hard frost.
