yeah it’s hard to spin up the courage to get out there and finish. Maybe this afternoon…

It always takes me a while to realize there are caterpillars in my stuff. First, my first year persimmon got ravaged by Unicorn caterpillars and just now found three hornworms feasting on my mammoth jalapenos.

Just planted a box of saffron bulbs and laid out where I’m going to put new beds. I’m really dreading starting this process over from scratch.

Wife going to find out how labor intensive it is.

Anyone thinking about planting the winter garden this weekend with temperatures finally coming down a few degrees? I’ll still have to water everyday like crazy, but I’d rather not put it off another week.

still waiting…not interested in daily maintenance at the moment. Carrots, beets, turnips, lettuces, greens etc will all be fine planted a little later

Just stopped at Lastrapes in Opelousas and they have a nice variety of Cabbage, Broccoli, etc. The lady told me to make sure you acclimate the plants 7-10 days before planting. I'm fairly new to fall gardening so glad she told me. Lol

We don't have a place like this to get plants. My wife has to plant seeds. She has two raised beds with turnips and two raised beds with lima beans. Her tomato plants are starting to wind down especially since the low temps has been in the upper 50's the last few days.

FYI, Dixondale Farms has onion sets available for order now. First delivery right before Thanksgiving.

Pulled everything from Spring. I emptied three raised beds and put the soil in an on ground raised bed for the asparagus crowns I ordered. That soil, after being in those beds so long looks fantastic. All of the bs included in raised bed bags has gone away. There were even earth worms in a couple which seems odd.

Pulled my shade cloths yesterday. Rutabaga, Turnips and Carrots have all sprouted . My Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Eggplant from the Spring are coming back. Hope to get Cabbage and Broccolini planted this week.

good day to garden today…overcast and drizzly. I planted a bunch of flowers this morning and am headed to the veggie garden next

Got my strawberry plugs in the other day. Planted them yesterday. Hopefully I have some better luck this go.

After my clean out, I now have three largish pots with fresh soil. Going to try beets one more time.

Mine finally all died from the heat last week.

I still had about half a dozen plants hanging on, but they looked rough. Left them in place to see if hopefully they come around with some cooler weather. If I didn't have automated irrigation on them I'm sure they would've died off. I may try putting some shade cloth over them next summer to see if it helps any.

From ISON's? Mine have not arrived yet.
They have two new varieties if muscadines on their site that has said coming soon for a while. I see the ruby crisp is actually available now. Glad I went and checked.

The shade cloth is probably a game changer for keeping them alive through the heat.
