I agree, I think it's the angle of the sun but yep, even with temps still in the 90s it feels "different".

Spinach is on it's way up. My seeds for my winter artichoke experiment are up and I've planted a few tomatoes to see how they'll compete with the plants that summered over. And a LOAD of blooms on the eggplants that summered over. They are actually kind of remarkable.

Hope is it will cool off at least a wee bit as I am really ready to chip the cedar and hackberry I cut down over the summer. Cuttin' it is easy, getting rid of it...not so easy.

Hubby is loving his chipper and so am I. He’s finally clearing out a tangle of underbrush/clearing an ugly patch just so he can chip some more stuff.

Then, he’ll make another new garden patch. More organic veggies without the supermarket prices. LOL

Keep us posted on your artichoke experiment.

I got gorgeous ‘chokes one year by putting the seeds in a damp paper towel in a ziploc until they sprouted really good. Then put that in the fridge for a couple weeks. Then planted in peat pots and then outside. I started the seeds in paper towels in late January here in the deep south.
