Petoskey Fall Harvest

From the Garden to the Soup Pot

Are we having a great Fall in Petoskey – or what?

I’ve been working in the garden the last couple of weeks – pulling out the harvest, cleaning it up, spreading this year’s compost for next year’s vegetables. I think I’ll be ready to rototill the compost in by next weekend and put the garden to bed for the winter.

I’ll be putting raised beds in the garden next year – looking forward to that – is it Spring yet? I guess I’ll have to live through a few months of dark and cold before that happens Up North here in Petoskey.

Onions, beets and carrots were the last to leave the garden. I took some over to the Twisted Olive and Julienne Tomatoes. Julienne Tomatoes roasted the beets and made up a bunch of borscht. I had a cup of it today with a Rueben sandwich, both were delicious.

I’m talking to Stuckman’s and David Firman about removing a couple of trees before winter sets in. I want more sun for the garden and the trees are too close to the house and are pushing on the fences.

It was a great year for landscaping and gardening – until next year, sleep well green thumb.
