Fall garden

I grew up in northern Utah and now live in zone 8a. So this is my first fall garden and I’m so excited. Planting starts in the middle of September sounds insane to my northern brain but my girlfriend is a Texas native and assures me that this will work. The set up: repurposed mineral tubs that were left on the property, the base layer is hay and rabbit poop from my tamuk rabbits, followed by topsoil I dug up downhill from where I dump my geese’s water every day. They will get water from same geese. There were tons of earthworms in the topsoil. I started this last Thursday under some led lights and in a week they were begging to go outside. This along with the rabbits and pig I’m processing in about a month coupled with everything I’ll get hunting this fall means we will be eating good this winter.
