Carrot bed finally sown

November 23, 2019 ~ M Ress ~ 6 Comments

G-d the carrot bed was depressing. Beautiful carrots all tasteless and dull. Well that's what happens when the bed is too depleted. Last year I had trouble with tiny little carrots and bushy tops- too much enrichment. This year it was the opposite. How about we aim for perfect sweet carrots 2k20? That means clearing … Continue reading Carrot bed finally sown

At long last, a home for the scallions

Some of them will have to share space with one of my romaines, but otherwise it's nice I found room for them. And I have a new pepper. Just in time to … Continue reading Late summer planting and re-seeding

August work part three: putting things in pots and looking ahead

I have no idea where the celery is going to end up in the end. Probably in its own larger pot but for now it's in a one … Continue reading August work part three: putting things in pots and looking ahead
