August 21, 2014

NO doubt about it Nancy and Polly both have a handful of red leaves…. Not sure if I hope it’s a sign of Fall or disease!  Thinking about the watering situation.  Still watering all by hand but should have irrigation done in a week or so (I think).  Need to read up on how much to water.  The squash is looking so much better after mulching but it has also been much cooler this week.  The soil in those beds was just so dry to start out.  Also thinking about feeding plants.  It seems we shouldn’t need to feed the veggies if the soil is good… I know the fruit trees want feeding but hear we should wait till the spring (do nothing immediately after planting is Stephen’s advice.


Hoping to plant the “babies” tonight.  The beans and peas we started from seed are ready.  We might have enough of a growing season left to produce those.  Also time to plant onions and I hear, maybe garlic, beets, greens brussel sprouts, broccoli….. Hope to have some time to read up on that this weekend.
