Because I am a little crazy, I did my planting plan for the fall and spring. The fall plan is similar but all the plots in medium green will be annual rye grass and the three raised beds in the center will be the same but maybe a little more mixed and matched. Yesterday, bought two kinds of broccoli and swiss chard. Joe tilled all those areas where crops will be planted after disassembling the tiller to clean out the engine and other parts. Joe is probably the most handy person I know and I am very impressed at his mechanical abilities. After we raked the soil for rocks and weeds, we added lime, peat, and rye grass. I also pulled out several tomato plants and may finish pulling the rest today so I can begin planting my new crops. It is hard for me to pull up plants that are still producing, but I have a shelf full of canned tomatoes and sauce and really don't need any more! There is a very sunny spot in the back which we will eventually fill with various berry bushes. A friend promised me some raspberry plantings, so I am eagerly waiting on those. Free plants are definitely the best.
