Fall Garden

After taking the summer off from gardening, I decided to plant a fall garden. The garden was placed in the spot where I kept my mobile chicken coops for a month. The plants seem to grow well.

I planted the garden about August 15 in the hopes that my collard greens would get big by Thanksgiving. A few plants had huge leaves and other plants not so much. I think I may want to plant a week early and increase my watering frequency next year. I also need to thin out the collards a little more. Other plants in the garden are: turnip greens, mustard greens, carrots, cabbage, kale, broccoli, and lettuce.

Fall Flowers

A mild fall and warm temperatures have caused my pawpaw trees to flower. Even so, there still seems to be plenty more buds left for the spring.
