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

Your onions look delicious! Beautiful garden - We're doing raised beds and I am finding greater success - nothing as beautiful as yours, though:)
