It was another beautiful weekend in Central Missouri.
I spent a good bit of it sitting in the Condo of Doom waiting on Bambi to visit. Saw quite a few slicks, but none that would fill a cooler so I’ll try again when I can.
Planted 150-ish cloves of garlic yesterday and covered it with ~4” of compost from the giant pile of poo. I also seeded some kale and lettuce in the cold frame. Probably too late in the season, but what can it hurt to try?
Peppers and green beans are still hanging on, the cold nights are making it tough on them though.
I was thinking about you the other day, and wondering what you were up to this past weekend. My lettuce, spinach, and endive got a pretty good start already, and the garlic is about 9 inches tall.
I have row covers on the leafy greens, but haven’t covered the garlic. Last year, I left it uncovered and it made it, so I may not do anything to it other than push a few leaves around it.
I’m hoping that the weather holds up enough so that the row cover will let me have fresh salad makings for Christmas.
