It is still too hot here to deal with plants. October will be cooler and I’ll get a 4x4 planter, fill it with potting soil mix and put the Walking Onions in it. Will need to buy some net and row cover to keep birds/squirrels off plus enough cover so they won’t freeze.

When the first cold hits, the orange tree will come in the house in a sunny area in the kitchen behind the breakfast table.

Think I will shortly put the stand and grow lamp for it in a bathtub that is not used, to grow a few Cherry Punch tomato seed to try to grow one or two in the house.

We finally got another SUV- Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. These days, you had better know how to use a computer in order to be able to get in your car and be able to start it. The
“key” to this car doesn’t have a key end on it. Don’t need a regular key to get in the car and there is no key hole on the door. Once in the car, the ignition is a button, punch it and the car starts without a regular key. I’m glad the car look and buy is over.

I spent an hour and half today working in the garden and sweeping off the patio. I have 12 sq. ft. planted so far.

It was cool when I first went out, but then the sun came out and it go pretty hot. I'll be planting some more stuff for the fall/winter garden later this week.

I can usually grow stuff till around December with the row covers. If the carrots get far enough along, the cold weather will make them sweeter, and I'll have some carrots in winter, and some early spring like March.

I already have some spinach and lettuce sprouting after just 2 days. Same stuff package that refused to sprout this spring.

Glad to hear you have the SUV issue all done. I'm still driving my ole beat up 1996 Honda Odyssey minivan. It had to have some work to pass inspection this year. It's developed a bit of a rattle when we go over bumps, but no one has figured out yet how to stop it.

Bought it in 2004 for $6000.00 and that's the first significant work it has needed. It's a 4 cylinder, so it's good on gas. It will hold all my kids, grandkids, and great grandkids that live in the area, and is great for hauling garden stuff too.
