Sadly, it's the end of the gardening season. Thank you to everyone who made this one of our best seasons so far.
Cleaning up the garden is a multi-step process - we need to make sure everything is clear so Owen Neville can get it plowed and we can get some winter rye planted to help the soil for next year.
Steps:
Take up all non-organic material - weed block, tomato cages, trellises, metal staples, plant markers, etc.
Pull up everything you planted. For the softer stuff, just pull it up and leave it in place. For tougher stuff such as sunflowers and corn plants, those need to be uprooted and dumped in the compost pile by the trail.
Walk through your plot and make sure any rocks you gathered for any reason and other debris is removed - rocks go into the woods along the verge, please.
We're supposed to be out by Halloween, but I think if we get it done by end of day Saturday, we should be fine.
Anything left behind will be absorbed into the mishmash of garden stuff and may or may not reappear next year.
I'll be around this weekend to help those who need it.
Thanks again - it's been a ton of fun.
Jesse and Michelle.
