Well the yard is mowed, the garden is cleaned up and looks so sad with just three huge cherry roma tomato plants left, but they are still in such good shape I couldn't pull them and they are still getting tons of flowers and new fruit so they got to stay. We are going to spread the organic fertilizer/lime combination we have made, then throw down bunny mulch/compost, grass clippings and then cardboard on top. Let it all rot and just before we turn it all under again we are going to add sand. This should provide us with a wonderful rich soil that is almost like loam. Once that is done the green houses will go up.

I will post pictures later on tonight for the fall farm tour.

Just wanted to say hello. Anytime I hear someone is from NC, I enjoy reading about it. I love NC, would love to live there again, but God has other plans. When I saw you were from Mt Airy I had to say hello. My family and I made a trip there in 2001 to see Andy Griffith's home town. We use to be big Andy Griffith show fans. We don't watch anymore, because we got rid of our tv's. But anyway, we enjoy the trip and loved the area. Must be nice to live there full time. Look forawrd to reading more on your blog.

It sounds like your soil will be absolutely wonderful. I love the Freud comment too. Both my husband and myself are second generation American. Our grandparents (both sides)came here from Ireland in the 20's. My birth name is O'Shay and obviously my husbands name is McGuiness. I love to go to his parents house because my mother in law is the most beautiful cook of the traditional foods.
