Mildew finally took out summer squash and the risk of fatal (to squash) cold is too high to make re-planting before about March practical. Picking peas and prepping spinach bed, although, weather's a bit warm yet for spinach. Have carrot seedlings a/o Christmas eve morning. Hoping for cooler weather by the time they start filling out. Just gonna continue to succession-plant carrots and hope for a bit of a cool spell between now and April or thereabouts; same with cabbage. Don't know yet whether to plant broccoli but may do because, "You never know".... I went out this morning and cruised the raised beds. Four different lettuce types are really going well. Cauliflower and broccoli are heading up nicely, will pick a cauliflower this next week. The new kale is growing well and the old one is still growing, looks like a palm tree now. G The carrot bed is producing and the carrots seem to be getting bigger quicker, maybe due to the light rains we have been getting sporadically. Green onions are being pulled frequently as we really like the light onion taste. The entire fall/winter garden is doing well in 70F winter weather. Still picking the last few kumquats and just eating them and spitting out the seeds. Maybe the seeds will sprout and we might get a forest. I will be pruning the pear tree mid-January, just before the tree starts producing blossoms and hoping for a big crop next year. I'm hoping dear wife will give me enough time to replenish the man-made soil in those raised beds, the contents are down about three inches already. Another mix of peat moss, vermiculite and much compost mixed in with the old makes for a good garden. I don't try to garden in the ground as it is two inches of sand on top of five feet of gumbo clay. |
