Assess Garden and Plan Winterization

hey there folks this is josh stoney ridge farmer welcome back to another gorgeous day here on the stoney ridge farm it's pretty outside the fall weather is in the air there's a crispness to the air the leaves are changing man they're absolutely gorgeous here on the farm and today what we've got to do since fall is officially here no more tomatoes so what we're going to be doing today is first of all we're going to go up we're going to go move the cows to a new section of pasture and the cows are directly behind you guys in the pasture back there and then we're gonna take down our summertime garden right here okay so we're just gonna pull out all the tomato cages we're gonna clip all this stuff off we're gonna show you some cool tools and we're gonna be preparing to build five more planter boxes just like this these planter boxes were something that i built this past year and it has really made life easy on my back so having raised beds like this really did the trick each one of these beds and this is probably the best bed to look at right now they're each four by eight made with real two by 12 construction white oak so super super tough they'll probably last i don't know 15 20 years something like that they're going to last quite a long time so we're going to go ahead and get prepared to make some more right over here where the rest of the tomato plants are these are where the roma tomatoes were and they just didn't do very good the plants in the raised beds did awesome these are better boys and big boys some roma and also i did some oh german johnsons which i love the german johnson tomatoes we've made tons of tomatoes canned 28 plus quarts plus i think probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 gallons of tomato juice for josh's tummy so awesome stuff this garden's really paid off and it's time to do it justice by winterizing the garden today
