The garden has had a busy season and now it is time for it to catch some rest! All of the kale, collards, and swiss chard has been harvested and the soil has been covered with blankets of leaves and hay.
Winter rye has been planted to keep the soil intact during the harsh winter weather. Garlic has also been planted to grow deep into the warm earth during the winter. It will be ready in the spring for harvesting its scapes (the flower of garlic) in the spring and its globe in the summer.
Thanks to the hard work of many King Open classes the garden has been a great success this year. Together we planted an African Garden, and an Italian Garden. We also planted potatoes and peanuts. Finally, the garden rewarded us with a bountiful harvest of tomatoes and eggplant in September, winter squash, peanuts, and potatoes in October, and kale and collards in November.
Thank you garden for all of your delicious produce. Sleep well during the winter. Goodnight!
