Greeting fellow gardeners. The cleanup continues. Last Saturday we pulled all the string beans, lima beans, eggplant and half the pepper plants. This week I was able to pull the remaining tomato and pepper plants. The tomato plants will go in the field away from the garden. All the other plants will be chopped up into compost to be used back in the garden.
We still have a few cabbages left to pick. Two more weeks and then all harvesting will be done. After we finish, I will total up the numbers and send out our final amounts for the season. Always a very anticipated email.
We will be cleaning and stacking all 800 tomato cages. When that is finished, we pull up the plastic mulch and drip tape. Then I will start to chop up leaves from the church grove. I already have 4 piles waiting for me to start. Cleanup is just as big a job if not bigger than setting up the garden in the spring and summer.
Thank you to all the volunteers who continue to come out and help each and every week. The jobs don't get done by themselves. It takes a dedicated crew to make this mission run.
