Fall is Falling
Last week the garden structures from the summer came down and were stored away. It is sad to see the dead tomato plants. There has not even been a freeze. Some years we eat fresh picked tomatoes at Christmas. We haven’t had tomatoes for several weeks. This was the worst year ever for tomatoes in my garden. Many things will need to change next year.
The orientation of the garden is one thing. Rows were mostly running East-West this year. Next year they will run North-South. Hopefully the soil will get worked this coming week. Then there will be soil test and planning. Lime or sulfur will be added to bring each row to the proper ph for its intended crop.
Winter is the time for seed catalogs, greenhouse work and reading garden books. I have a huge new garden book called “Organic Gardening” from Rodale Press. It will be reviewed in segments rather than as a whole.
