Fall Harvest!

Over the past two months I've had the fall harvest come in from my community garden plot. It was my first harvest at this new garden and a bit less than I had hoped for, but I learned a lot about my soil, plot,  and what I need to do for next year - raised beds are an absolute must! Our community garden is located where a grain bin once was, right next to where the train used to run. Therefore, I go only a few inches down and hit the old foundation (not all areas of the garden are so shallow). I also have a steep angle that caused all the water to run to the bottom of my plot so that the herbs at the bottom end did well but the plants at the top never received sufficient moisture. I'll have to level it off when I build the raised beds next spring too.
