Roadside Veggie Project A Success!




Today ends the tomato season at Milton resident Floyd Keisler's garden also known as Moss Hill Farm in Milton, Georgia. This week is the end of the cucumbers. Following are a few items available for a little while longer:
Summer yellow squash
Butternut winter squash
Red Kuri winter squash
Blue Hubbard winter squash
A little okra
Apples next week
Turnip and mustard greens in about 30 days

Folks have asked Mr. Keisler about using compost on your own flowers and garden spots. He says that "now is the time to put down at least 6 inches on top of the garden/flower area for it to incorporate into the soil, then in January or February put down another 6 inches on top of the ground. You will have your garden spot ready for summer if you do this without having to plow or prepare the soil in any other way. I have some almost ready, let me know if I can help in this area."

Mr. Keisler is selling a 50 pound bag for $2.00 or a trailer load which is 3 cubic yards for $125.00 delivered in North Fulton. A trailer load will cover a 10 foot by 30 foot area 4-6 inches deep.

He thanks everyone for making this year's project a success. You can reach Floyd Keisler at 770.815.2815 .
