Most everything was going to seed, so plowed it all Thursday evening before the rain. I debated leaving some stuff, but after dropping electric fence wires and the effort to change implements I went ahead and took out everything with fall stuff, except onions and garlic. This clay was still a little wetter than I liked, but not near as wet as it would be after yesterdays rain and cooler temps coming.
Picked through the turnips with no damage after the rain, so we'll be cooking them down and freezing them over the next couple of days. Wife is cooking Brussel sprouts and rutabagas today that I had her pick in advance.
My Ingles grocery garlic experiment is on the 2nd generation and doing pretty good, except for weeds. It has stayed so wet they got out of control early and anything pulled seemed like it liked taking root wherever I threw it.
Ready to get busy and get some other stuff in the ground in a couple of weeks.
