Fall is no longer coming, nope it is here and in full swing!  Today is Oct. 6th 2010 that means only three weeks until little kiddos dressed as ghouls, ghosts and the latest cartoon heroes show up asking for candy.   You know what that means right?  A few weeks later we are stuffing ourselves with turkey we stuffed the night before and begin “insanity season” (Christmas shopping) and BAM! short days, flying snow and for those up north a few months of cabin fever.

All that means fresh veggies from the back yard are on the endangered species list until 2011 starting now unless we stay in high gear and plant winter harty crops, provide protection and preserve the surplus starting right now.  The good news is I am here today to help you do just that.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • Cover crops

  • Establishing new beds even just killing “lawn” with cardboard

Yet to listen Jack, but up here in PEI, I harvested my last two lemon cucumbers. Parsley is hardy as ever, that is one tough biennial. And it dehydrates well in the Excalibur

Saving this one for my drive to Cornwall Ontario too see my mom on Friday. I now have over 30 episodes to keep my on the road

Just a quick note. You can go to this website if you don’t want to download software for Paltalk. It doesn’t work for me, but maybe it will for someone else.
