Clean up
Spent the afternoon cleaning up leaves and dead plants. P is working on the fence because we have a big planting project coming up in the upper yard.
He pulled the apple tree a little while back, because we realized we would never win the fight against pests.
The arugula and roots are going strong, the kale is hanging in there, and the asparagus still has green (I’m supposed to cut it back when it turns brown.)
More garlic
bought a few heads from the grange (softneck). Still didn’t fill the bed. i could slip some onions in there! (uncovered holes not planted, looking down from north side)
Planted Garlic
Planted Garlic in South B and West E. the seed was really plump, so I had less to plant than expected, so P and I picked up a couple more softneck varieties from the Grange. I’ll update the map to show those in West E.
South B
New plan
Doom and Gloom
It’s definitely the end of the season. The raing has hardly let up. The green bean plants are falling apart, the tomatoes are terrible. The runner beans are holding in there- but not producing much.
My storage for photos on this site is full, so I gotta figure that out..
Maintenance
P cleaned the gutters, and I buried the last stepping stones. I put clover seed everywhere I didn’t put no-mow grass.
Things are slowing
Things are definitely pointing towards fall. We’ve had a LOT of rain and the tomatoes just didn’t do well. I made a big soup today with what I could salvage
The patty pan by the driveway is still a monster though.
A bit more
It’s been wet. Everything is looking a little sad
Wine
Harvested grapes for a gallon of juice
