What! Its time to plant my fall garden already!

While the rest of the nation and most of GA is still harvesting what their spring gardens have given them, we here in the deep of the deep south are already tilling, buying seed, and planting our fall gardens. We here at the Thrift homestead are running a bit behind. The tiller has sprung a gas leak, and with Cheyenne being in Utah visiting family, Shane and I have taken some time just to relax. This fall we are planting pumpkins to sell in October both Jack O Lantern size and small cooking and decoration size, technically they were suppose to be in last week, but... We are also planting broccoli, carrots, and cow peas aka black eyed peas. This is the first year I will be planting black eyed peas, so hopefully fingers crossed it will be a great yield. I have been told that if that make they can be left on the vine to dry or they freeze really well when fresh picked. Well that's all for me today folks, tune in Friday for Sarah's next post! See y'all later!

We bought  all the seed except for our Jack O Lantern seed. Hopefully next fall I will not have to buy mini pumpkin seed either.

 This is what our garden looks like at the moment. Lots of weeds with a tiny bit tilled.

 Our problem children are still in the garden as well. I counted yesterday and we still have 5 watermelons growing and ripening.
