Since the weekend weather was so nice we decided that we should take advantage of it and get the fall garden in the ground! We planted:
Cucumbers
Beets
Radishes
Spinach
Leaf lettuce
Rocket salad
Carrots
Squash

We then installed a drip system on it to help with the watering and to tell you the truth i don't know why we didn't do it earlier!! Now we are going to get a system to put on the raised beds to make for easier and more efficient watering!

I also found a few recipes for some household cleaners that will make your home smell great!
