I cut my tomato plants back a few weeks ago, this time I decided to do the cucumbers. I found 2!. I have now yielded 1 tomato and 2 cucumbers. Maybe next year will be better. This year has only proven that I am not Farmer Brown
It takes time and practise. Glad you are still looking forward to next year and not giving up!I cut my tomato plants back a few weeks ago, this time I decided to do the cucumbers. I found 2!.

I planted a row of kale about four years ago in the main garden. I discovered I didn’t like it so tilled it all under. Damned if the stuff hasn’t come back every season since. I still got three or so popping up like weeds this spring. They must really like Georgia clay. I’m really ashamed of my garden this year. The weeds are so thick I’m going to have a hard time even mowing it. I’ve read that it’s good to let your ground go farrow occasionally and rest. Well, mine has certainly rested this season.It was finally cool enough in the evening for me to work outside. I cleared the garden bed out . Amongst all the over grown vegetation, I found my poor little kale plant that I had given up on thriving... so I left it. The bugs had always taken to it.. now it’s big and looks remarkably well of course earlier I had steamed a bunch I bought from the store , but next week I should be able to have fresh!!! Exciting. I also have milk weed invading the bed. I am on the fence about what to do about it.
I think the word you are looking for is "fallow."I’ve read that it’s good to let your ground go farrow occasionally and rest.
I liked the taking it easy thing for the arm, right up until the tilling rows thing... lol. You’re worse than me with the taking it easy thing. That’s why I like a glass of wine in the evening, it makes it easier to slow down.I still have not actually planted anything for the fall. I am getting things ready for spring though. With my arm still acting up, I just have to take it slow and easy. While I was processing my pumpkin butter yesterday, I just about lost my ceramic crock pot on top of my glass blender because it started getting tingly and numb. Luckily I was able to catch both before a big hot mess on my hands. Today my only canning was caramel and chocolate sauce because no heavy lifting involved in those.
So I tilled a few rows and started started cleaning out my trenches again. The dirt is lose so it's not really heavy lifting right now. It's been a few days since we last had any rain thank goodness. I'll get my tractor out later and cover my rows with old manure and then compost on top of that to sit until spring. I only got 6 beds done today. . . 34 more to go??
@robinjopo how are the green beans growing inside?
Get yourself better. Drink chlorine dioxide. Google for safe protocal amounts.As of 2 days ago about 2 ft high. I've been in bed. And hospital today. Have a bacterial infection
I am so sorry Robin! I was really hoping you would have been feeling better by now. Just get better soon.
Girl, if I lived closer i d come help you. For whatever reason some men think the house is women's work and normally don't lift a hand to help when their wife is down. I get that. Just take it easy when you get back home. Not like anything is going anywhwre. . . It can wait till you are feeling better. Take care of yourself.Thank you. My kitchen (and entire house) are a disaster area.
I noticed I'm on the same antibiotics they give you for anthrax. Fun.
