Getting Ready for Fall Garden
 |
| Getting fall garden ready. The dry looking spot in the middle is where I plant my fall garden. It has been under a cover crop of rye grass since winter. It is going to be turned under today and allowed to mellow. We will begin to plant here around August 1st. I have already started broccoli plants under grow lights. |
