Finally harvesting

[Mister D]

Well I spent two days away and had to picl ten "squash fruit" upon my return. LOL

Nice yield.

Fresh is best, I have a friend that has over 250 pot plants.

A friend indeed.

Nice yield.

Best year since I started my little 165 square foot garden

Common really has to learn to re phrase that before the DEA shows up at his friends house! LOL

So I pulled out my basil plants. It turns out that they have a life cycle and I should have been paying attention to signs of seeding. They're all but useless now. I could have snipped the flowering stems to extend the life of the plant.Trial and error. Now I know.

Just tilled a 20 sq ft (20 ft on all 4 sides) Was gonna work peat moss and good dirt into the soil, but what I tilled is currently a mud pit, gotta dry out.

I'm going to try to dry many of my herbs this year for the winter. My basil also flowered however.

Will you grow a winter garden?

I wasted a lot of basil. Sucks.

I had a question for you. What can I do to fertilize my patch over the Winter? Is organic trash helpful? Leftovers, grass clippings., leaves etc.? This year I bought about 80 bucks worth of Miracle grow soil. Trying to avoid that this time around.

If it ever dries out! Brocolli Brussel sprouts various greens.
