As sad as it was to say goodbye to my spring garden, Fall is headed our way. Where did the time go?!
I took a "cooler" morning to till the old garden under. I haven't always used my tractor in my gardening, but this is a new plot that has only ever been pasture. The sand spurs and weeds were something awful in the Spring, and they had started to come back. Tilling them under before they flower is a great way to stop weeds while adding a compost-in-place. I used weeds as my cover crop Lol!
My garden is seperated by a chick grow-out pen. On the left there is nothing left, but the right hand side still has a struggling row of watermelons. Again, being the first year planting here, I didnt expect magic. But we've harvested about 12 melons and still have more to go!
This season, I'll plant pumpkins and squash along with some "chaos" gardening where the kids will plant some things out of season to see how they do. The prepper side of me is VERY interested to see these results. The kids will be putting together a portfolio for home school on this test.
Hope you enjoyed a look and we look forward to your comments below! Have a great day!
