Cleaning up the garden for fall crops

I took yesterday off of work to spend some time with the family.  Because I had a little time, I decided that it was time to wipe out the main corn patch.  It was drying out and wasn't producing anything anymore.  It's time to clear the space and start a fall crop.



First I pulled all of the stalks out.  Then I threw all the stalks into the woods to break down.



Once all that was finished, I rototilled where the corn had been as well as the down-slope area again.


Now that all that has been done, I just need to go through and reevaluate what fall-oriented seeds I have to plant.  Its raining now so the soil should be in good shape for planting tomorrow after work.
