Indian Summer
Return to DiscussionsThis past week has been warm and sunny with temps in the 60's and 70's, very unusual for this time of year. I spent every afternoon doing some naked gardening. I grow everything in raised beds because of the very sandy native soil here. So my fall process is to pull out all the plants and compost them, broad fork the soil to aerate it, add about 1/2" of finished compost, and add a fertilizer/mineral blend depending on what I plan on growing in that box in the spring. They are predicting snow flakes for tomorrow so I'm happy that I got that last few days of enjoying the naked time in the garden.
Hi there...you mentioned sandy soil and I had to check. We're still warm down here...warm & very, very dry. Everything is drying out...I'm letting my garden die and will compost it in the near future. Not sure what I'll plant in the spring but we'll try it again. Hope your's goes well. John.
