It is Harvest time in the North Country.

Actually, it is the final harvest on my part. What started out like this...

]

Ended up like this.

Now we had many meals of fresh produce and again as much put up for winter enjoyment. But, it is time to plan for next year...

What grew well AGAIN this year and do we need to plant as much or more.

What can we eliminate and what would we like to try.

Was the layout good or do we need to tweak it a bit.

How about pests...bugs, and animals? New fencing?

Do I want to start plants from seed or buy them already started.

Fertilizer. Commercial or Natural? Natural right from the farm or commercially processed.

Do I apply Fertilizer now or in the spring.

Should I till the ground now or is spring better.

This is just a partial list of things to think about while everything is still fresh in the minds. Planning now can make for a much more enjoyable gardening experience next year.
