Garden Monday
Coolin’ off

Posted on September 13, 2010 | 11 Comments

It’s Garden Monday at Feet Off The Table!

This is the pickins from last week. I think this was my last ‘big’ broccoli harvest. The only thing still growing broccoli-wise is a few little sprouts. But I have been able to freeze about a whole big ziplock bag full. Next year more broccoli plants for sure! My onions were ALL pitiful but my cucumbers were outrageously plenty! I’ve given away quite a few.

Oh, and 3 measly RED peppers. But…I did grow these from a pepper SEED from a pepper that I BOUGHT last fall!

So I’m excited the plant produced any fruit at all! Only one of the 3 could be eaten. Well, eaten by humans, the other two had critter damage.

And what’s up with zucchini? Does it stop growing when the weather cools down?

Travel Adventure’s – Whipp’s Ledges

Posted on September 10, 2010 | 9 Comments

We like to explore a bit, hike a little and soak in the beauty of nature. This week we explored Whipp’s Ledges in Hinckley, Ohio. It was only a short hike to get to the ledges which were formed some 250 million years ago. I think by glaciers. Without the trails, it would be a little steep for the average person to climb up, so luckily there are a lot of trails! You can even hike with your dog!

I’ve been here a number of times when I was a teenager, but not until I was an adult did I appreciate the beauty of this park. Here’s what we saw:

: Formations to the left of me

: Formations to the right

: Formations in front of me

: Cool rock

: More cool rock

: Wedged in

: Through a fallen tree

: Steps of stone

: Steps of tree roots

: Roots growing over boulders

: MC’s Lion King Impression

: Captain Caveman

: Trees right on the edge

: Rock climbers love this place!

: Wrapping up the hike.

: Of course, MC “didn’t realize” we’d be hiking (when I said, we’re going hiking) so she wore flip flops. Yes, I’m that mom who let their kid climb mossy rocks with flip flops.
