2021 Planning
Ordered some seeds today and worked on some planning. We will be putting in at least one new bed with the plan to remove the “upper” beds when we can. (=
Winter sowing
I cut the top off a couple of juice jugs, added some drainage and soil and water and onion seeds. Hopefully i get some .
I also moved a couple of the Stunted greens into season starters to see if that does anything.
To bed for winter
In the last week everything else died, so we cleaned up today. We got no grapes this year. Hm. I planted more garlic from the grange, and a few bits from our own stash because the deerfield that territorial sent me to replace the bad batch was even worse
Have a bed and a half of garlic now. (The second bed is nootka rose then assortedhardneck)
Basil taste test
They are all growing pretty well- taste test puts Everleaf Emerald at the top, followed by Sweet. The dolce fresca is oddly minty/bubble gummy
Garlic
Planting in the gloom today- west c
Shed to maple- music (hn), duganski (hn), susanville (sn), nootka rose (sn, from grange)
Well, had to ditch that layout because the Duganski garlic was in REALLY bad shape.
I’ve got an email into the seed company, but in the meantime I planted all the Nookta rose (2 heads) all the Susanville (8 oz- about 4 heads worth?) and all the music (although they were very big cloves, so there’s less of that.) There’s this much left in the bed
P got the Nootka rose at the Grange, so maybe I’ll swing by there and grab a few more heads of something. Should I do just one bed this year?
Basil and Cilantro
Fall is falling
Here are photos from this week
Two slicing tomatoes
Part of today’s haul
Two days ago…
Better today.
It rained last night, and now it’s safer to breathe. I did some planting for fall stuff
Couple of spinaches in one bucket, more mache (vit) in the other. (I switched, so there might be some cross contamination.) Looks like I planted “New Zealand spinach” in the spring, so I’m planting that again, and “lakeside”.
Planted more snap peas in upper b.
We also did some cleanup.
And put favas in west e.
