We rototilled and spread 50 lbs of fall rye seed in advance of some pretty nice weather in store for us over the next while. Andrea is raking out some footprints and tire ruts and we will then top dress with a bit more rye seed before watering it all in and hoping for great germination. When we get our cover crop planted in time (late September or very early October) it almost always results in a fantastic crop. We were late tilling and planting last year and it frosted early ruining germination. We hope to avoid that this year.

We will load up our last pumpkin tomorrow, remove the plywood road and rake the area smooth and apply more rye seed. Then, we will say goodnight to the pumpkin patch until it all starts over again in early spring.
