    At least you had a great season of growing. My garden is still going but I'm only going to get spaghetti squash and pumpkins. It's not a good year for me but I'm so happy to hear that you had a great garden this year

    Thank you. It's not easy but we always make it work. Life is hard and marriage can be very complicated but, if you agree, even to disagree, you figure out what it takes to make it work.

    They will definitely be able to access it from all sides. I'm thinking that if I bury it about 4 inches in the ground they will have better access to it.

    I'm thinking about using a big tote to put in the run for a composting system. I can drill numerous small holes in it for aeration and since I did watch Mohawk gobble down a mouse I think it might work. If anyone has any ideas or advice I would greatly appreciate it.

    I'm hoping that my pumpkins ripen before it gets too cold. It's already getting cold at night so hopefully they will. I have a large pumpkin out there and it's still completely green.

    Picked 8 pumpkins today and don't know how many more are either not ready or hidden to the point I can't see them.
