So today was the day that we put some of our demonstration gardens to bed for the winter up at our county fairgrounds. I work with the veggie bed, and am chairperson for the herb beds, that surround 3 sides of the veggie plot.
So although not from my garden, I thought I'd share this pretty bouquet--the zinnias were grown in the veggie bed to attract pollinators; the borage and pineapple sage were from our herb beds. Our weather has been warmer than usual, so we were able to still harvest some things.
I'm drying some gray santolina that we'll use at our Greens Workshop in December; also harvested some lemon verbena and rosemary to dry for personal use. Our salad burnet was still going strong so brought some home to use in our salad tonight.
The best part was that we had a few people attending another event at the fairgrounds stop by. I was able to talk with someone about hisbicus "red Zinger" and gave her some seed pods to take home, as well as some lemon verbena to use in her teas. She was so excited!!!! I love when we can tell/show people something new.
After spending 2.5 hours there, I came home and finished cleaning/draining my Earthboxes, and did some more deadheading, etc. I'm now officially tired (and a bit achy)
Hope you all had a good day today
