My garden has been pretty much lying fallow for the past couple weeks. Malabar spinach, green peppers, and Okra are still plugging along but the I cleaned out the rest after the plants dried up. I decided that it was better to build up the beds than to put in more veggies at the moment. We do have new tomato, jalapeno, and serrano's that are germinating.
We're really happy with the Malabar spinach. It grows and grows, and unlike the lettuce and cabbage, the chickens don't bother it. This is 3 plants growing over a piece of fencing.
While it's not gardening, we also raise poultry. We now have 40 chickens and 27 ducks (mallards, khaki campbell, muscovey, and runner). The young birds should start laying around October time-frame. There is nothing better than farm fresh eggs from open range birds.
