Fresh New Plants for Fall

Out with the old, in with the new!  The fall is here, and so are the delicious fall crops that go along with the cooler season.  We took some time this past weekend to clear out the old vines and plants that worked so hard for us all summer and put in some fresh new things.

We decided to try some planting fabric this go around-  to keep weeds down, water and heat in.  Hopefully it will be successful for us, I'll let you know.  


Final look at the Summer garden-  here comes the tractor.


This okra plant is still producing-  and reaching for the sky!


Last little bits of summer.


These watermelon vines came from broken watermelons we threw over the fence!  There are so many, and they are blooming-  dad is betting we get more watermelons, I am not so sure we'll make it before frost...  it would be cool if we did!


The new planting fabric, and a row of lettuce!


Lettuce plants ready to go into their new homes.


All our new plants-  

cauliflower
broccoli
lettuce (Romaine, Iceberg, Bibb)
cabbage (Green, Red, and Savoy)
collard greens
