New garlic varieties for planting arrive this next week. \u00a0Combined with the biggest bulbs from this year’s crop they’ll plump up our crop for next year. \u00a0To assist them I tossed two and a half bags of composted manure into the bed where they will sleep over the winter months. \u00a0I also cut down the potato vines, preparing the tubers below to harden before I harvest them two weeks or so from now.<\/p>\n
Kate’s playing with graph paper and the calculator, determining how much compost we’ll need for the new vegetable beds we’re planning for along the sidewalk next spring. \u00a0We haven’t decided whether we’ll rock, landscaping stone or wood to create the raised beds. \u00a0All this work needs to be done before September 27th because I will not be able to lift over 30 pounds for a month after my hernia surgery.<\/p>\n
