Victory Garden status 9/17/11
YTD 1238 lbs + 4 lbs onions this week = 1272 lbs!!!
Pic of fully planted and mostly mulched fall garden with sweet taters ready to dig.
Tuesday Sep 13 me, Chris Norris, Patt Hardaway, and Jimmy planted plot 6, mulched 12 bags of grass clippings into the middles, stored away some of the mater cages, and moved some of the pea and mater vines behind the storage area. I pulled 4 lbs of onions and took to the Food Pantry on Thursday.
Thursday the Rawlins Redbirds baseball team moved all the remaining piles of vines to the big pile in back, and I moved all remaining cages to storage.
Friday me, Whit, and CW planted all of plots 4 and 5 and mulched with 24 more bags of grass clippings, and peeked at the sweet taters and picked one nice big fat one.
The fall garden is completely planted except for some Swiss chard I will find a place for soon. When we harvest plot 2, we will plant the garlic garden there late November.
We have chinese lettuce and korean turnips and chantanay carrots and rutabagas and collards and mustard and lots and lots of turnips.
Halls Feed Store donated all the seeds and fertilizer for this week's planting. Mary Iberg donated a $25 speaking honorarium which was sent is for deposit in our bookkeeping account.
I am watering every 2 or 3 days. We need a light soaking rain.
Aint God good!
