NEARING THE END OF THE GARDEN. . . . .

We are nearing the end of our Garden / Farm Mission.  Following are pictures of the last days of clean-up and harvesting.  We had 'volunteers' helping us up to October 30th.  As mention before "we really appreciate our volunteers".

 Picking in the field

Final days our cucumbers growing vertical.

We still have cabbage, celery, broccoli & cauliflower to harvest.

These are "cold weather" plants.

We covered the peppers for a few nights until the 'hard' freeze

and then they were gone.

In the field we used "weed block" for the

vines to grow on and prevent weeds.

Volunteers are cleaning off the weed block and

vines.  They will roll up the weed block to be

used another year.

Volunteers and missionaries picking peppers.

All the plants in each grow box will need to be pulled.  Then the

weed block is swept off and rolled up.

This year as we pulled up the plants they were spread out on the

field.  Following this the plants are then plowed into the ground

and will compost until next year.

Everyone helps with the getting the boxes ready for winter.

Note how she is dressed; it's pretty cold by

now but the harvest still needs to be done.
