Another Fall Garden Check

Let's look at my cover crops I've mentioned. Right before storm Francine came through our area dropping several inches of rain I planted some cool season cover crops.

(Not to mention I love the taste of fresh vegetables!) The other evening I was working in the … Continue reading Zinnias At Sunset
