I am working diligently on my garden for next year. I have been working and building up a huge pile of yard and kitchen waste into a super compost pile since I got back here at our home in Mississippi last month. Next week I will be adding some compost activator and red worms to the pile. Yes I am impatient and I want and expect a good start for my garden next spring. I plan to plant some winter rye as cover crop in late Sept or early October. I am anxious to get into full gardening next spring.

I am still harvesting figs as they ripen. I am freezing them when I only get a few each morning and will can them as fig preserves. Next is the harvest of pears in late Sept.

Figs and pears, two of my favorite things, but things I cannot seen to grow. Glad to see you are working on next years garden.
