Thanks for posting Arrowhead’s report.
Favorite soup. Barley beef and vegetables, fish soup with lots of potatoes, carrots and celery and of course cream.
Our yard if FULL of oak leaves and acorns, millions of acorns. I’m going to rake them up tomorrow, if the leaves are dry, cause Sunday we’re expecting a gully washer. I’ve picked up one 50 gallon plastic bag full, just about all of it from our entrance, it’s full again. I have a vac/mulcher with the leaf blower, as of now, I’ve used only the mulcher.
We’re thinking of adding more raised gardens to the community garden, I want a 2 foot high, 12 or 20 foot x 3 feet for corn and beans, but I haven’t decided what kind of other vegetable to put in it then I’ll put straw over the whole thing.
In January I’m going to plant some beets, etc in the keyhole gardens.
Our community garden has a lot of vines coming thru the weed blocker and mulch we put down, the only thing I can think of, to destroy them, is weed killer. Does anyone have some good ideas to get rid of them?
Ah yes, beef barley. I haven’t had any for a while. I’ll have to add some ingredients to the grocery list.
Regarding your corn and beans. I’d suggest squash-can’t go wrong with the 3 sisters. LOL
Not sure about weeds. I rarely mulch and rarely have weeds. I plant everything so close together, the weeds just don’t have a chance. In the winter I sow rye or winter wheat or just cover up the space with cardboard.
It seems that I did read that steaming hot vinegar water can take care of weeds, but your area may be too big to tackle that way.
