HI Bernie,

picked and tilled all of lower garden.

Took fence down,added composted cow manure and sphagnum peat moss.

Tied sunflowers to trellis as seeds are now falling out.

Cut pumpkins in half and placed in deer food plots.

Must till my 5 raised garden beds and cut two trees down.

Garlic fest is slated to occur on November 2nd and 3rd. A group about 10 people plant 1200 to 1500 garlic cloves. Snack on my salsa and chips during planting , drink bloody Mary's , and then have Char pot pies with wine - a fun time.

Then deer hunting becomes serious.

Bob

I am still harvesting brussels sprouts and the beans I grow to dry and use in soups, which I will be making in a few weeks.

I also need to transplant a blueberry bush and clean up the garden of a neighbour who got sick. And of course there is, always, disciplining the blackberries, which never stops.

Among the ingredients for my fall soup, besides the beans...

Carrots
Celery
Turnips
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage

Kohlrabi
Leeks
Onions
Garlic
Thyme
Sage
Lemon juice
Fresh ground pepper

This soncoction has a very earthy flavour; in fact I like to describe it as if you took the top six inches of soil in my garden and everything growing on it, squashed it all up, and extracted all the yummy flavours.
