Well, I am doing two of those things at the moment. Seed saving and harvesting the *small* bounty my garden has produced this year. By small, I mean a few handfuls of certain fruits/veggies.
In previous years, I had stuck to container gardening, and expanded only this year to an actual plot of land in my backyard that took me a good week to dig, rototill and prepare this spring.
below are pictures of the garden in its infancy, in its prime and then waning for this fall/winter.
I may even plant some Red Sails Lettuce seeds tomorrow for fall... hmm... better get going on that then!
