In a Flash—Fall is here

Filed Under Garden Desk 

Weather:

We have had enough nights of frost that the vegetable garden is done.  The days are also cooling off - There has been snow in the upper elevations.  There is a predication of rain showers for the next couple days. 

Plantings:

I have Garlic to plant and hope to get it in the ground within the next couple days.

Activities:

I cleaned up the pumpkins plants today.  I have about eight pumpkins that did ripen, there are probably the same amount that did not ripen.  I pulled some of my carrots, they are short and very fat, also very sweet.

Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:

I harvested the potatoes today, well at least part of them.  It was less than stellar performance, this is the second year that I have tried to grow potatoes and still no love there.   I am taking the potato dirt and refilling the raised beds with it.  I hope that does not prove to be a problem.
