Hello, gardeners and hivers!
A couple of days ago, I wrote a post about doing some of the fall work in the garden, basically starting the clean up process. Yesterday was a fairly nice fall day so I was able to get the rest of the garden taken care of.
I had 2 rows of potatoes left to dig up, one was red potatoes and the other was Yukon Gold potatoes. I started the day by digging up those last 2 rows. This was the row of Yukon Gold potatoes. The harvest wasn't very big, but most of the potatoes were good sized. If you're wondering about all the boards in the garden, I use them to block weed growth and retain ground moisture, and also, it keeps my cats from digging and pooping around the rows.
Then I dug up the row of red potatoes. There were a lot of potatoes, but many of them were on the small side.
The next job was to move the compost pile. I wanted to put it more in the middle of the garden. I had already moved it once about a month ago, but I wasn't happy with where I put it. I used some chicken wire and some cedar boards to set up the new location.
Then I just had to shovel the pile to it's new location and remove the big boards from where it had been.
My last job for the afternoon was removing the last of the tomato plants from the raised bed. I don't have any pictures of the process, but here's the result.
I still have carrots in the garden but I'm not going to harvest them until after we get a hard frost. We still haven't gotten a killing frost yet, but it was almost cold enough last night. We may get our first real frost later in the week, and we may not.
That's all I have for this post, I hope you found it interesting.
