Got a little planting done today

I started 2 raised beds today.
one bed:  2 jalapeno plants, 2 tomatoes,     planted  collards and turnip greens

2nd bed:    leaf (iceberg lettuce)   romaine lettuce,  carrots

planted 3 mums

purchased  1 bag of humus/manure,   1 bag miracle gro  potting mix
spent   $45.00  at Walmart

I have 6 beds already in place.  I do plan on putting in some onions if I can find some this week,  but otherwise     I think I will just do the 2 beds for the fall season, see how I do and get a feel for how it goes.    For spring planting will try to utilize all 6 beds.

I may do one of the beds with some pansies/daisies  just for some color

Dennis picked up the trailer today, hauled the tractor to be serviced.

  He moved the turtle trap to the island in the pond, hoping it will be a better location,  since there were 20 of them out there this morning.   May be a little harder to move off the island in order to get them transported.
