Fall Gardening

I admit, I am NOT a great gardener! I plant things and pray they will grow. It does help that Mark knows what he's doing when it comes to composting, fertilizing, etc. I mean, maintaining 92 acres of golf course is a LOT harder than our 3 raised beds! LOL



This year I decided to try planting a fall garden. So far so good - it's just a little crazy because my summer garden, which should be all ripped out by now, it still producing! All of my peppers are just going crazy - we have jalapeƱos, banana peppers, bell peppers, and some mystery pepper like a cubanell? I dunno. Anyway, we are also finally getting a little okra and our tomatillo bush/tree/plant is just full!


Here are some picts I took today:















Broccoli













Kale or Spinach, I can't remember



















Bell pepper



Red and Green Cabbage


So, we'll see. I still have grasshoppers munching away, and Monday I pulled two horn worms out of there. I normally use Greenlight Neem for pest control, but lately we are getting just enough rain that I think it's washing off. Guess I need to spray more often.


Happy Fall, y'all!
