Obviously, gardening, for me is a part time job. Like many gardeners, the spring gets me all excited and as time goes on, the fun wears off.
I went by the plot 2 weeks ago. I pulled weeds and pulled out a few spent plants and turned over some of the soil. The fall veggies I had been so excited about got doused by Tropical Storm Lee when we had a once every 500 year rain event-10" I think. I also realized that we really need to amend the soil. The clay is so heavy and with a rented plot, you don't know what was grown there previously so the soil could be - probably is-totally malnourished.
We did put in thorn-less blackberries which appear to be old enough to fruit next summer. We'll go by this weekend and check the carrots, potatoes and blackberries. Hopefully, there won't be too many weeds.
