The no good too windy day

July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 ~ M Ress ~ 5 Comments

We had a freak wind storm this week that blew down people walking down the street and interrupted power in a few neighborhoods. It also highlighted why tomato cages are not optional- as it blew all my tomatoes off their gerry-rigged stakes. For the most part everyone was ok- just on the floor.

New year, new seedlings, new tomato varieties

This is the bed that used to have Swiss chard and arugula- both going to seed. I still want Swiss chard, but I have an arugula pot for the arugula. Also this bed gets a lot of sun, good for chard not so good for arugula. In winter it wasn't such a big deal but … Continue reading Finally sowing the back mixed bed
