*Zucchini (I don't buy this at the store anymore, so I only eat it during the summer)
*Potatoes (this is my first year of growing a bunch.)
*Dirt
Really, is there anything dumber than buying dirt? I don't think so. Yesterday I dragged Tom out to Menard's and bought three cubes of dirt. Yes, I said cubes. Instead of those unwieldy and bulky gigantic bags of dirt that weigh fifty pounds, there are now cubes of dirt. Awesome, yes? But still dumb.
Today the plan is to fill the two raised beds with the dirt and plant my fall garden. I bought beets, kale, turnips and radishes from Baker Creek. I've not done a fall garden before, so I am excited. Not so exciting are the butternut squash vines trying to smother everything. I shouldn't complain, though, because it's food.
I've already pulled out the spent broccoli plants and one of the zucchini that was being destroyed by the squash bugs. Those things are really annoying!
