Time to Harvest; September in the Gardens

September arrived right on time this year, and our garden was ready with a beautiful harvest! We dug potatoes and beets, picked beautiful red corn, and collected seeds for sale in the End of The Oregon Trail shop.  And of course we will be using seeds to start the garden next year, too.  Enjoy the photos of the gardens in their prime.  Coming next:  A day spent digging in the Rose Garden.
