That is a nice thank you gift, they are expensive here. And a lot of the time have no taste.

last year was unable to give any out.... but this year with everything i did yesterday really hope that i can give them out...
the weather people were right on the money last night for the low<for a change> 26* we had 8 hours of below freezing, dont think the kiwis would have made it.

last week.. and it did look like this yesterday...

this afternoon. bam

wow only 38 days till the 2015 journal is done...

finally had a non rainy weekend gave the asparagus their annual winter haircut and was able to finish bundling up everything for the winter and put under the house.
still have a couple little choirs to be done, can procrastinate on those. looks like it's going to rain till wednesday after that going to dry out for about a week with only 2 days below freezing...

delivered or handed out the holiday kiwis to everyone down and around work today, you know that a extra large 18 count egg carton works really good to cradle them... just have a couple more to give out to my friends around here this weekend....

Major, if you are still wanting to do clean-up chores, I have some at my house I would let you do. I wouldn't even charge you.

update 12/6/15
since today was a nice day figure would catch up on the beds a bit... the last 4 days it has been in the upper 20's a night so they have been covered, IF the weatherperson is correct it will be in the mid 30's so will leave them uncovered.... anyway pulled weeds, leaves and gumballs out of them,weed wacked the grass and raked it up...

looking forward for some roasted beets on christmas..

the big green leaf lettuce did get a little frost bite..

the spinach is toast, except for a couple leafs. will till them in next weekend...

had to put my glasses on to weed out the smaller carrot bed.. sat there for a bit watching the earthworms cruising around...

after all that hard work time for a carrot break.....

oh my that carrot is so sweet......

years ago I watch a TV show on Christmas in Colonial America, the gift only the rich could afford to give was fruit. Fruit in Dec was very expensive. Some one who got oranges and lemons in their stocking where very lucky

Your vegetable garden is a beautiful thing Major.
Especially those sweet carrots!

Looks like you have some trees still showing their fall colors.
