A garden review.  Things that I did different this year:
1.  No till

2.  No crazy, exotic things

3.  Extra green bean and beets

4.  Added fruit

 

Why?  I am getting older and the things that I think about are different than when I was you know, younger.  My boys are getting older and working outside of the home which was a sudden reality. 

That meant that I either had to change my garden plans or shut up, do it by myself and enjoy it.  While I do enjoy it, it is a lot of work.  So this year I kept my row of flowers that is low maintenance.  I also added grapes, raspberry, rhubarb, blueberry and asparagus which after the initial planting are pretty much minimal maintenance. 

 

How are things going?

1.  Love the no till.  I think the soil is richer because of all the mulching and the weeds are less though not gone.

2.  I did not waste any space with exotic things because of adding the fruit and asparagus I also did away with space.

3.  Last year we ran out of green beans before Christmas.  This year I plan on not doing that again!

4.  All the fruit is growing well and I wait with anticipation for next spring since most of it will not produce much this year.
