Got the garden dug up and tilled this week. I planted turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, garlic, shallots and two types of leaf lettuce. May get heavy rains here later tonight and tomorrow.
I actually tilled the garden after I dug it with a fork and noticed a lack of earthworms. I have my compost piles from mowing the yard getting ready to bring back to the garden in nearby vacant lots.
Yeh, that dry weather we had this summer resulted in the same thing here. Not an earth worm to be found so far guess they are really really deep down.
