Ya know, I've been trying to get motivated to get my little plots ready......and trying just isn't getting it done! This week I've been getting up at 5 to water plants and survey the yard once it's light, and am a much happier gardener.
The most important thing I do to prepare for fall gardening is to rototill in in mulch, soil sulphur and a general fertilizer. Then, its time sitting on the ground picking out rocks....our lot was the one used to store gravel and stuff when they paved the streets in our area. I've been able to gravel several paths just by using the stones picked out of the garden areas (silver lining!). Had I known what kind of soil I'd be working with back when we moved in here I'd have made raised beds, but now I'm into the habit of doing it this way, and each year I can see the soil improving.
First thing to go into the ground will be edamame!
