Bounty

Because of our brutal drought this gardening season (no meaningful rain from April until September) Mrs. Barn spent untold hours delivering water to her thirsty garden, generally twice a day.  Some of the plants still suffered but still she managed to grow and gather quite a bounty.

Here is a wagonload of spaghetti squash, one of our favorites.  Maybe enough for all winter.

The winter’s inventory of squash resides under the vintage encyclopedias in the dining room

And a portion of the canned veggies and salsa.

We are very much looking forward to next gardening season with the new greenhouse fully in service.  Real construction begins tomorrow!
