October 16th

Been a month since I posted... We've had our first hard frosts. About 28 degrees F last week. Did in what was left of the tomato plants and the squash plants. I'm hoping I can convince Tom to help me tear up plants and till for the fall. At 6 months pregnant I'm not feeling super up to doing all that needs done.

I didn't get as many tomatoes as I had hoped this year. Heirloom varieties don't seem to have the yields of the hybrids. Of course the hail and blossom rot didn't help this year either. The squash did okay, and I seem to have a couple of ears of corn but haven't tried them yet.

I've moved the compost to the bed that is full of clay and needs some organic material. I'm not done moving the pile, but that is another one that I need Tom's help with. I think the only other major thing to do will be to get some sort of raised beds going. I pulled the fence and we are hoping to make it a little more ascetically appealing. I might have to do some online idea browsing for raised beds and landscaping.
