Completion of Garden Bed for 2010
Completion of Garden Bed for Spring 2010 Planting
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?OXCTM 9 September 2009 Completion of Garden Bed for Spring 2010 Planting.
Today the garden beds were essentially completed for the Spring of 2010. There is about 2000 square feet of growing space. Various plants are completing their growing cycle, and I worked around these. All weeds were removed. The beds were all conditioned by the addition of a layer of sand. The beds were planted with red annual clover, which will grow considerably before freeze-up. This clover will be mostly Winter killed. Some compost will be added in the Spring and worked in before planting.Durgan

Wow! I wish my garden looked as good as that. Very Nice!
Question, is it better to get it all ready now or waiting until the spring?Cass

It looks really good. Our growing season lasts until about Nov 1. That's when we'll get a freeze that will finally kill the tomatoes. I will be picking chard until then, and if all goes well, lettuce too.
My squash and cucumber are slowly dying, but I picked 5 yellow crookneck today and there are more coming, so I'm not ready to dig up that end of the garden yet.Use it up, Wear it out,

Procrastination is the thief of time. Now is a great time to prepare for Spring. Clearing he weeds, upsetting insect eggs, can make life more pleasant next year.

I sort of clean out the areas the useful plants die off. This year due to plant diseases. etc., the process is s little earlier than usual. Originally Posted by Contrary Housewife
