The Wonders of "Winter Thaw!!"

 FOUR DAYS with people helping for ONE HOUR each day did wonders for the garden!!  Monday was spent digging carrots, raking leaves and composting beds.  Tuesday was digging onions out of one bed, composting more beds, marking off beds, and shoveling out walkways.

Wednesday was all about counting out sets of 100 (onions) for a total of 18 bags of 100...or 1800 onion sets!!!  Holy smokes!!

Thursday everyone planted, and planted and planted some more!!  We got two beds of peas planted (soaked the peas overnight) and planted 1798 onion sets...the baby ate two of them as she watched us work!!  The rest of the tilling got done, and now the storms that were predicted can come in.  We're ready and so is the garden!  Perfect timing!!!

Garden Sleeps through Thanksgiving and Christmas...sort of!

 With the weather cooling off, the garden has really slowed down.  However, the spinach, lettuce, broccoli and carrots are doing well!  We've had some great help getting the empty beds composted and tucked in for a very "short winters' nap!"

Mid-January will be here before we know it, and we will hit the ground running...or rather, tilling!! *_*

The Last of the Fall Harvest

We had the last of our Fall Harvest, picking corn, peanuts, watermelon, pumpkins, green beans, onions, lettuce and spinach!!  We we've worked hard the last couple of weeks to clean out LOTS of biomass that's going to turn into a mess with the coming freeze this weekend.  So, we're saying good-bye until January 2021 and hope it's a less "interesting" year for the world!!

 

Late Summer Gardening!

Lots of help in the garden today!!
