It's What's Up Wednesday, friends!

Weird question for you readers – do you do a post-mortem on your garden each year? And if so, when do you do it? 

To answer my question, yes, every year, I pick apart what was awful, what was mediocre, what was amazing and what I would do differently.  

As it happens, now is the time I usually do it.

When the growing season winds down, it’s the perfect time for reflection. I find it’s best to do these things while all the trials and triumphs of this year’s garden are still fresh in your mind. 

You get bonus points if you write it all down and put it somewhere you’ll remember it next spring. 

I also find I’m a bit restless this time of year, so I start planning. Fall is a great time to plan your future garden. You have all of the off-season to research it and get it all ready. 

With that in mind, this week’s What’s Up Wednesday is full of ideas for off-season plans. Whether you’re expanding your garden, trying something new, switching to raised beds (Hello, friend!) or wanting to learn a new growing method, I’m sure you’ll find something to pique your interest!
