***LAST DONATION TIME FOR THE SEASON***

We're in the final days for your garden produce donations to be counted towards your season total in the 2026 Feeding Families Grow Challenge for the WEE Community Food Bank. A week today will be the final drop off times that you can bring your produce down to the foodbank to count towards your season total. Produce donations are still welcome after this date; however, we will have calculated the winners of this challenge and closed the contest off by then.

We have a couple really big contributors this year that we are so grateful for. Every little bit helps, so don't ever think a donation is too small - someone will love it!

Thank you once again for your support!

Well, the 2026 Gardening Olympics are officially coming to a close for the year. 🏆

If you’re local to me, hopefully most of your garden has been pulled before the anticipated frost this weekend, especially with the dip in overnight lows and all the rain we’ve been seeing. Most root veggies will likely be okay for a little while yet — when in doubt, mulch. But most other things should probably be harvested or covered if you’re hoping to keep them going a bit longer before you get to pulling.

That being said, I’d like to congratulate you all on a season well done! 🥇
We had more than a few things to contend with this year: a cold spring, rains that seemed like they would never end, mosquitoes eating us alive whether it was raining or not, and mud. So much mud.

But through it all, our gardens still produced. And honestly, some things produced a surprising amount considering all the variables stacked against us.

So, good job, guys. We made it!

Here are a few cheeky images to celebrate the end of the season.
Rubber boots really were the runners-up this year. 🥾

We look to have rain today with freezing overnight lows after that - so now is the time to clear out whatever is left in your garden.
