Buy it at COOP by the oz.
Still have 200lbs of tomato’s hanging.
Putting up seed now. Getting ready for the 2021 meltdown! Made fresh Salsa today. I like with some sweet Balsamic in it. Made a big big Bowl full. Gift a bunch out to the families in the hood.

Yep, the local Co-Op had plenty of collard seed and hadn't heard about any shortage. I usually don't use the Co-Op for seed having gotten way too may packs from them that wouldn't germinate.
The garden came down yesterday, the greens go in today. I have to free up the slip clutch on my tiller today as well, it has been sitting outside for 14 years and the clutch plates are frozen up. I found this out the hard way last year with $2000 worth of repairs to the PTO gearbox when I picked up metal stake while tilling and the clutch didn't slip.

My garden is coming down too. Pulled and froze about a bushel of carrots yesterday; potatoes, pumpkins, and beets today. Snow is forecasted for Monday night and Tuesday. I didn't get any tomatoes, peppers, or cucumbers, but everything else did pretty well. My magnificent dent corn patch is still green, but the blackbirds are decimating it. So I think I'm going to have to harvest it green and let it ripen and dry in gunny sacks.

Four and twenty blackbirds, baked into a pie?! (=) >:D (lol). we are going to try to beat the freeze by covering the containers, but it is only supposed to be below 32F for a short time, a lot of wind though!
Red flag fire warning all weekend, then cold and snow Tuesday! High temperature yesterday was 101F. Oh well, everyone talks about the weather! Nobody can do anything about it! Stay safe!

I've started another one. Yellow Crooked neck squash, Brocoli, beans, okra, sweet potatoes and Dragon Tail radishes.
