Monday night marked the end of harvest season for the Hyer Family. We dug up the potatoes, cut the squash of the vine, picked the last of the tomatoes and then worked to cut down corn stalks.. Putting the garden to bed for the winter is quite the process and will most likely require a few more weeks but tonight was the last of the produce.
Randy and Uncle Dan digging the potatoes.
Grandma and Flynnie!
The kids helping as well
Flynn after taking a HUGE bite of dirt.. Poor Guy.. By the time I reached into his mouth to dig out the dirt clod it had turned to mud.
Remnants of the dirt clod.
Randy stopping my niece Gemma before she bites one too!
Apparently Flynn didn't learn the first time. This is the face he made after eating his second handful of dirt.
Picking up potatoes to take to the cellar for winter.
Aunt Becky and I picking tomatoes
Flynnie and his buckets. He finds them truly fascinating I think...
Picking up hay stalks
All the squash! Pretty good sized this year.
The lord blessed us with an incredible garden this year. We were able to can green beans, tomatoes, tomato juice, peaches, jam,and freezer corn, plus have cantaloupe, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, onions, and peppers for table use. So thankful for a bountiful harvest and for our wonderful family that did their part in the garden to make it all possible! Love you all!
