Winter planting is DONE!
I planted my greens, Siberian kale, red Russian kale, collards and purple top turnips. I am going to try spinach planted through newspaper with grass mulching when the weather cools a bit, my normal black plastic it too hot for these plants.
I planted my deer plot down in the woods, the electric fence is sparking to keep the deer from plucking up the tender plants before they get a start.
I planted a huge greens patch on my neighbors land as an experiment, it is about 35' wide and 120' long. In the past when I planted a greens patch on a hunting club the deer wouldn't touch them. I planted this one to see if our urban deer are as picky, I bet they mow it to the ground. It has the same things planted in it as my greens patch with the addition of Dalkon radishes and seven top turnips

My mum is blooming!! took the whole summer!!! it seems someone shut my window on a leaf and when i went to move to pot it made the roots less stable. tied the flower to a metal rod and now im just gonna keep growing it, deadheading it, putting new soil, and so forth for as long as i can. mums are really pretty!!
Marc St Louis:
Came close to freezing last night. Might get that frost next week though
I like planting flowers too but I prefer flowers that smell nice as well, maybe being surrounded by a swamp has something to do with that :-). Planted some Black Locust a few years ago and it started flowering a couple years ago. The flowers have a heavenly smell. I let a friend smell the flowers and now he wants to plant some at his place.
