Had a scare last night when the temp dropped to 34 degrees around 4 AM, but it bounced back before anything got hurt at sun up. Had no idea it would get that cold. No freeze/frost warnings from media or the govt weather station!
All the signs are pointing to a hard Winter up here in N. MN... Trees starting to turn, seeing V patterns of geese and ducks already! Guess Farmer's Almanac is saying the same thing...
Marcella, don't have anymore hints on your "killer" problem... Our cat keeps our redoubt killer/critter free! An option?
“We really cut back on what we planted in quantity, and what we reaped is outstanding, maybe due to the amount of care each crop got, who knows?”
I think you’re right - it is because you had a smaller area and could concentrate on that more. A huge area makes for less control over what is happening with those plants.
Saw some honkers heading south yesterday here too.
