Well, the wife and I far exceeded our goal to raise enough vegie crops to become Net 0 with our food needs other than meat and staples. Our grocery bills are less than $20.00 a week now. The season started with Asparagrus and strawberries, to spinich, beet greens, to cukes for pickles and table, to beans and summer squash, to mators and tators and corn. Cold harty crops cabage, broccilie, leeks, garlic, brussel sprouts, parsnips, turnips, carrots and winter squash. The wife has frozen and canned enough food to supply us very well until this time next year. Nice thing about canned food, it will last if we have a poor year next year. without the cost of running a freezer. I know many of you have also been canning and freezing all summer also, so I guess we can quote MR Food's favorite saying all winter long. We rotate our planter boxes yearly. that is what the wife is doing in one of the later pics. with the strawberries which we rotate on a 3 year rotation. We will continue to harvest broccili and brussel sprouts, weather permitting.The rest of the boxes have been cleared, limed and fertilized. The compost pile will get a couple of spreader loads of fresh cow poo and be turned and mixed with the Kubota tractor and loader yet this fall. In the spring we will top off the boxes with compost before seeding.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
