Mom (she’s visiting for a coupla weeks) took the last of our tomatoes off the vines this morning. About 60-70 lbs from 7 plants, 4 of which were volunteers. Will be trying the heirloom seeds next spring, after rejuvenating the soil because I messed it up with too much alkali 4 years ago.
After my bro tills the garden, I will be seeding purple top turnips, carrots, maybe some kohlrabi, and possibly a couple of potatoes for a winter crop.
I’d be doing the work myself, but my surgeon told me in no uncertain terms that I was NOT to do anything that required any effort over 5 lbs. I’m not even allowed to pick up the watering can, dagnabbit! I won’t even mention what my lawns and flowerbeds look like...
Be careful. Recovery from surgery is important. If the weather cooperates I’ll be planting some rye for cover crop this weekend.
Still trying to clean up the cyclone that built up while I was gone to Branson.
This reminds me - I had planted some leftover supermarket potatoes to see what would happen and if they would winter over and sprout in the spring.
I actually have a bushy plant about 3 inches tall sticking out of the top of the straw. Hubby says it’ll die back and come out in the spring.
