So I am from Massachusetts but have settled in Virginia, and have a soft spot for New England Autumn. This year, the colors in VA almost matched that of my memories of Massachusetts..... Overall, fall is a time to wind down, tidy up the garden, relax and flip through seed catologs, and dream of the next growing season. I don't think I could take growing food all year round! I think both the garden and I need a break from one another! My fall activities include:
- Move my worm composter into the garage and give them some good things to munch on
- Clean up the garden, pull out dead plants and compost them, put away pots into the shed
- Add mulched up leaves to all beds (especially the garlic bed)
- Pick up some manure from a friend (If fresh let sit at least two months before you put on garden)
- Inventory my seeds to see what I have left
- Plant some kale and spinach seeds and see if they either sprout or will sprout in spring
- Sit back and say, "wow...what a year! I can have even more fun next year!"
