Fall is in the air!

God, I can't believe that it is already fall; the weather was spot-on today! It was so chilly this morning and stayed cool most of the day. That is unusual for our area. I love this time of year. We have planted some fall crops and even have some ornamental pumpkins that came up by accident. I weed-eated a dried up pumpkin and spread the seeds all over this one area and they came up! The plants are very healthy and we haven't had to water them so far. I hope they turn out great. We have carrots, radishes, turnips, beets, collard and turnip greens planted and they haven't germinated yet but soon will! I love that digging in the dirt. We spent all summer digging the weeds out of every square foot of my mom's yard and it looks good. I weed-eated, mowed, and chainsawed everything that needed it. We have mulched and planted ground cover everywhere we don't want the grass to grow back. It has been hard work but very rewarding to both of us.
