I got my garlic cloves from Territorial today about two weeks after Southern Exposure sent theirs. This was good timing with the inch of rain we got today. That was as much rain as we got in the last three months. My weekend starts tomorrow so I know what I will be doing

Heat ripple
After this morning’s hard freeze that killed everything not under cover and some things that were, temperatures will climb back to the 80s for a few days. A much needed rain should bring temperatures back to the 70s. I will put the peppers back outside for now. Hopefully they can still grow enough to eatContinue reading “Heat ripple”
Cold snap
It did dip below freezing this morning, but there was no frost. That will not be the case tonight as the temperature is already below freezing and will stay that way until 10am the next morning. I brought in most of my plants and covered up the ones that were worth saving.
Planting garlic
I will have to plant the garlic and walking onions tomorrow. There was going to be a short window between getting some much needed moisture and the first freeze of the year. It rained Thursday and Friday and Wednesday morning the low will be 20 degrees.
Frost Warning
The weather forecast calls for frost Wednesday morning. I may have to pull the pepper plants in for the night or cover them up depending on the severity. I am hoping just to cover them up since the week after calls for warm weather and Persephone Days don’t start for another month.
Fall has arrived
Temperatures have finally fallen to the 80s with overnight lows in the 50s. It is time to plant fall crops in the overwinter beds. It is time to get on the bike as well.

I went to get some water and found out why. The spring normally flows out of theContinue reading “Spring drying up”
Fall Cleaning
Started the fall cleaning and realized I needed more storage bins. Fortunately Wally World had them on clearance. I also got some Swiss chard plants on sale at my favorite local greenhouse. Back to work tonight.
Veggies finally producing
The cooler weather has allowed my okra, tomatoes and peppers to set. I should have something worth eating in the next two weeks. The beans have finally germinated and now the race to Persephone Day is on. I should get some of the early beans before growth stops, but it will be a small harvesr.
Rain at last
We finally got a decent rain. It won’t change our drought status, but the fall garden will survive.
