Rural Gardening: starting to cool off on the September Homestead, 1 by darius

Who ever said gardening was easy?

I'm starting to put up some hoops to cover fall veggies with frost-protective fabric. It's my first attempt, and I'm flying by the seat of my pants even though I have read oodles of "how-to's". The first few hoops are up... they are some old, used PVC tubing I've dragged around 10-15 years! They span a wider area than I have planted (by one foot) so today I have been digging grass and weeds from that one foot.

The good news is that it gives me room for 2 rows of spinach, which I just now planted. :) I also transplanted a few more carrots from their seedling tray; 90% of the ones I planted earlier got wiped out by TS Lee. So were most of the purple cauliflower, beets and Brussels sprouts, but I think it's too late to start more seeds.

I'm trying to cover/add 100 square feet per day on my sheet composting area, but don't make it some days... like today.
