Three passes with a rototiller can make all the difference in the soil. And what a difference a day or two makes in the garden!
And now, decisions...decisions. Do we plant winter rye or do we perhaps use a leaf mulch on the soil (not wood - just chopped leaves) and perhaps leave a small section unaltered for growing winter lettuce? Hmm...we'll have to decide soon.
In the meantime, the mid-October weather has been quite mild with daytime highs of 75°F and evening lows of 50°F. It's a picturesque fall season here in Northern Virginia, with a perfect full harvest moon and the leaves changing color and falling gently and slowly towards the bare limbs of winter. Halloween is just around the corner and we are already sampling pumpkin pie and apple cider...Life is good!
