Who is or has gotten their fall gardens going. AIN'T gonna lie, my four seasons of choice would be summer, summer, summer, and summer. BUT getting mine ready next weekend. Cleaning them out this week, retilling and replanting. One cool thing about fall gardens, is the grass is dormant and well field grass is a thing down here.

Unless I can plant something that can grow before it drops into the 20s (November), my growing is done for the year.

It was a terrible year this time, only thing that did well was potatoes!

Last year I had 28 squash, zucchini, 30 quarts of green beans, canned 16 jars of tomatoes, sent hubs to work with 3 gallons, and ended up throwing out a whole refrigerator draw full as I did my back in so was not able to process them, pickled 4 big jars of cucumbers, and 6 small, 12 Long Island cheese pumpkins, 2 dozen green peppers, 70 cayenne peppers...

This year 4 red tomatoes - all the rest are still green, 3 squash, no corn, mutated cucumbers, 1 gallon of green peppers, 4 quarts of beans, enough peas for 1 meal, 3 pumpkin, 80lb of potatoes.

Honestly, other than the potatoes, I do not know why I bothered this year. I started my seeds the usual way, tended the garden in the normal manner, we had loads of pollinators, but it was a complete bust, very sad. 😔

ONLY thing the ag office is useful for imo is you can take a soil sample to them, they can test it and tell you what is low, dirt wise. Chief used to do that and his yields were great. THEN you can find the natural application for what they say is lacking.
