Fall plantings

This weekend will be a great time to plant, since we have showers moving in Sunday & Monday. Hopefully Dekalb will have delivered more compost by tomorrow, but we should have enough leftover from the Spring to plant these:



There are three varieties of lettuce, 36 cauliflower and 36 broccoli plants. I have some potato seedlings on the way, and plan to sow Alaskan winter (sweet) peas, and more leafy veggies.

See you tomorrow!

Bees, potatoes and the sinkhole

I stopped by the garden this morning for a couple chores.

The big sinkhole by the sidewalk was filled with another layer of rock & brick, then covered with 4 cubic yards of topsoil, and one cu. yard of compost. The topsoil & compost needs to be spread out after the concrete blocks are put back in place.

A half-row of potatoes has been planted in the lower plot. I marked the plantings with pieces of red brick.

I may have missed an earlier post, but what happened to the bees? I saw one come out of the hive a little over a month ago, but today - none were seen coming or going from the hive. Hope they were temporarily relocated.

The garden is looking GREAT!
