Embracing Change: A Gardener’s Reflection on Another Growing Season

The sun is setting on another growing season.

I laid the garden to rest today. Pulling up plants while still producing is sad, but they have blessed me with an abundant crop this season.

Not a weed to be seen. This photo was taken after I pulled up the vegetable plants.

I considered leaving it like this for the winter, but I decided I had better rototill because I don’t know what kind of spring we’ll get next year. Not tilling last fall was a mistake. This year, we had a wet spring, and I planted a month late.

The garden before I pulled the plants.

Five years of gardening in this spot, and each year brings a different garden. If you garden, you understand.

  1. My garden needs to be cleaned as well but I’m out of commission for a couple more weeks. Hey, still time for lettuce and carrots.
