If you look closely at theses pictures, you will see that our hay bales have almost totally decomposed after just one growing season. There was just enough hay to plant fall cabbage and broccoli. One of the cabbages are ready to cut, and it won't be long before we can pick our broccoli. The great thing about fall gardening is the produce has great flavor, and the cooler weather makes pests less of a problem meaning no need for pesticides. Once the plants are gone, we will plow under the remaining hay to add organic material to the soil.
