the end

Because we rented a community garden plot, no matter the weather everything has to be out by October 17th. So, before leaving we pulled out all the plants in the garden. They'll all be tilled back in and covered with straw over the winter, adding some great organic material to our soil next year.
It was a little depressing to kill the plants I started from seed, but it's also a bit of a relief to not have to worry about the garden anymore, at least until I start new seeds inside in March!
