November 19 few in number but mighty in deed!

Gary Brown, Liz Hereford and Myra answered the garden call to harvest peas–well they weren’t ready….so we harvested broccoli, green onion and radish. The cabbage, collard and kale isn’t ready either. The real work began when Gary decided it was a beautiful day for lasagna garden layering. We used up all the remaining OLD leaves which had nearly turned back into soil and all the newly delivered leaves, a portion of the newspaper, threw on some rich soil and it is now ready for winter. We look forward longingly for spring and the opportunity to rotate our tomatoes into this ‘no till’ lasagna garden space. We saw lots of earthworms in that rotting leaf matter, which will help provide rich soil next year.
