'Tis the season for falling leaves; so it's a great time to build a compost bin if you don't have one (or more) already. Here is a great website with plans for several different versions.
Hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and having a wonderful Autumn gardening season!
I actually have 2 gardens right now
. The Spring/Summer garden still has peppers producing, tomatoes making a comeback, and 3 Eden's Gem melons that are getting bigger every day
.
We planted the Fall/Winter garden at our "new" house, (which we still haven't gotten to move into), a few weeks ago. It's doing great thus far; we have squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, chard, mustard, beets, onions, all flourishing in the cooler days of Fall here in Texas. We got the pathways lined with newspaper and a layer of hay last weekend, and I hope to spread some mulch in the planting beds this weekend, too. It still has a temporary fence, which is quite a sight; but so far, it has deterred the deer.
OK, that's a brief update from here. How are your gardens growing? Anyone here grow things in a greenhouse during the colder months?
Blessings,
