I had a bonus day off and spent it sweating my @$$ off. But the garden is reset and ready for fall/winter. Removed all the old dead spring/summer plants and weeds. Sprinkled in some cover crop of sun h**p, iron clay pea and red ripper pea. Then covered it all with rabbit poo.
Tomorrow I'll get my tomato and flower seeds started. Over the next few weeks different seeds will get started and and plants be transplanted. Fingers crossed for a fruitful garden.
