We have had some really nice fall days here in Missouri. I have been working on garden, yard, and patio cleanup. Getting ready to plant the winter gardens.
Wheat will be planted after frost. I am setting up the raised bed for lettuce, onions, garlic, and carrots which will grow all winter under cover. Last year I had fresh lettuce all winter and spring from this.
Some of the raised beds will get a cover crop, but I have not decided which. Maybe clover or rye. Now that the heat is over, we have quite a few green tomatoes and new flowers, so I will probably be cutting off branches to bring inside sometime in the next 2 weeks.
Not the best gardening year. Mostly due to the cool rainy spring delay in planting, followed by the very hot and dry summer, but we still had a successful green bean yield and it looks like the corn will be pretty good if the weather holds. I had 1 ripe persimmon this week, so I just picked it and ate it.
Have a great weekend. God Bless.
How do you do that? What do you mean by "cover"? How much snow do you get; for how long?
