This summers project was to build a garden shed for my wife. The garden is about picked now. It was a good year for potatoes. Only thing that grows better up here in Maine are rocks. Apples are crazy this year. Trees are loaded. I have 150 pounds on the porch waiting to make cider.
8/12 and 12/12 pitch roof. I don't think the snow will stick but with 2x8 rafters it will not be an issue. The weak point is the clear polycarbonate but I think the snow will slide off.
Walls going up

Potato Patch

That's a great looking fence and gate. The post caps really add that touch of class.

Nice all around.

65 bags of dirt/soil later our garden is almost ready for winter. Garlic is in and covered with straw. Filled in some low spots in yard and seeded.

Same situation here, garlic is planted, Spring Onions as well. Potatoes are harvested.
Crying shame that the zucchini and yellow squash still have blossoms on the vine. We are still eating on those with a week of 70s F coming up.
Time for the fall compost, manure and rototill by Halloween.
Miss the fresh tomatoes on the vine already.

Peppers still coming!!
I've had to tie the pants up over the season, to keep them from snapping off.

Not sure how many peppers I've picked this year off these four plants, but it's been a bunch.

Well we got 1 extra month out of the season this year I tore down the Garden in Sept last year

The Wifey made some "Awesome Sauce" she really liked the Amish Paste maters and of course the Roma's we bagged and froze a few gallons MMmmmmmm

I thought we had a pretty successful second year with this new spot, going to till it all in next spring and see what we can do better..
Without a doubt we are going to do way more beans next year those were simply delicious, I am hoping that the Blackberry bush makes it through, any suggestions there would be appreciated


but




So today is Garden tear down day, getting everything pulled out and stored for the winter




How did you guys do ???

Caught !!!
