A start for next year

It's cold and rainy today, the kind of weather that chills right to to the bone. Not too cold, just enough to invite you out to do some things and take advantage of raw weather. Snow will come tonight with much colder temps. Tomorrow we should see a high of 22 and then lower, lower, lower. Blowing snow will be the recipe Christmas Eve, Eve.

Got the last of the tillage done today. Turned over the last 4 beds. Had to shovel the snow off the beds, but as suspected the frost had been drawn out. The ground remains drier than what it should be. A definite watch out for next spring. The frost was only .5-1.0 inches deep and easily penetrated with a pointed shovel. This will end the for the year.

The photo shows the 4 beds that were tilled (front left and center). The 4 beds across the back of the garden are asparagus. The large piles across the back of the very back are the leaf mold piles from this falls leaves. A lot of leaves, but much smaller in total piles due to the shredding of the leaves with the yard vac. As I start thinking about seeds for next year, I will put some of my thoughts out here for comment.
