[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 385345, member: 367"] I need to convince my wife about your carrot method or plant them later in the year so they don't get so big when you leave them in the ground waiting for a frost, but, she is stubborn about her carrots. Good feeling to get it all in and call it a year. One of our boys and a 3 hard working grandkids came home to help and bring some home fresh produce, For the first time all that work was fun for me and they had a blast doing it trying to out work each others. For dinner we had Zucchini Lasagna and they had seconds and 3rds , after dinner I asked what they wanted for Sunday dinner and one hollered lasagna and the other two hollered YES. They were happy to each pick out a huge pumpkin but they all wanted to take two zucchini. We all had fun and agreed that we should make fall harvest an annual event. Holey mackerel the ground got hard here this year. I use a farmall Super C and 8' cultivator for deep fall tilling and pulled cantaloupe sized clumps where ever I didn't have drip lines, it was a tough pull for old red. I think some of it is from using drip line and everything but the rows get so dry but my soil needs building. I put a whole round bale of straw down and worked it in good, last fall I worked in a few square bales and the ground was nice and mellow last spring . [/QUOTE]
