Diary 10/4/11

Planted 2/3 of the tilled areas with annual rye grass seed to act as a cover crop adding nutrients to the soil when tilled in next Spring and holding the soil for next year against erosion, compaction, and weeds.  It was sort of in between today, still dripping from last nights rain, but drying out a little.  We picked 2 gallons of raspberries for jam.  They are tenuous, but can be used immediately or frozen to make into jam or ? later.  Figs are going crazy and will do so until it freezes.
