I got sick a week and a half ago, so things got a little messy. We’re back on schedule, tho. Kale has been the hero this season. Couple broccoli doing what I ask. Slugs got all my first round peppers, so on my back foot there.
Herbs need to be moved out into the sun and a new round of starts there. Tomatoes in the ground, started a bunch of tubers (daikon, french breakfast radish, and beets). All of my pak choi is ded, which makes me worry for the ten million carrots I have coming up. Started like, 30 pak choi to make up for it (get em young, cut em in half and roast em with salt and pepper, finish with Lao Gan Ma. One of my favorite veggies).
Garlic and onions coming along, taters growing, put down some corn and spinach yesterday. Been having hard luck with the spinach. Had an unidentified rodent living in that bed picking off my seedlings as they sprouted. Took the cover off and let the ferals deal with it, so here we are again on a fourth round of direct sow and I STILL AIN’T GOT NO SPINACH.
Oh, I put some watermelon down, too. Makes an awesome cover along my walkway and the ferals love to hide in it. Also, watermelons, I guess.
Squash arch is archin, but I worry about my soil out there. Same mix I used for the hugel and the new beds and I’m having problems. Shouldn’t have rushed to get them done, but hey, that’s my problem now.
That will be 5 if it happens, forecast isn’t really accurate more than 48 hours ahead.
The low tunnels wouldn’t work for Sept frost though, so I would like some kinda all-in-one solution, but for the tomatoes I was planing on having a bunch along the fence and use the fence as trellis support, but than can’t wrap the tomatoes.
That could work, but I was hoping for vertical and keep them north so they don’t take up a lot of space or shade much.
