The cover crop is still in, but soon it will be gone!

With Thanksgiving just around the corner and Finals fast approaching, It should come as no surprise to hear that the LFC Garden is now officially closed. All our summer crops are out of the ground and the beds have been filled with cover crop. The water was tuned off not two weeks ago, and the gate was closed and locked for the season. It’s a bittersweet time for us all right now, but we are deeply thankful for the experiences we had in the garden together this summer and with all those who came out to support us. Hope to see you all in the Spring!
blueberry recap - look how they grow!
We took on a lot of projects this summer, but the creation of our new garden boarder was defiantly the largest by far. We planted a large perennial garden outside our farm, and as hard as that sounds the prep work and planning was just as difficult. It took teamwork to get it done!
It seems like just yesterday that we were getting the beds ready for their new arrivals and putting our new summer crops in the ground, but with the early arrival of the Fall, the last of the garden harvest have come and gone and soon the summer will offically be over too. It was an amazing summer indeed!
The Garden is featured in the Lake Forest Patch today!

claire and ryan found a praying mantis in the garden, today. we have now named the mantis cleopatra, as she is a brown color and is most likely to be a female. she was hiding among the beans!
