Really bad year. Too much heat, too much rain all at once and I let the weeds get out of control. Time to focus on a Fall/Winter harvest. Cabbage, save me!
Eat up!
Recipe for sautéed cabbage- Mmmm…

It was warm and ok moisture, then got cold and wet for a month, and then HOT and dry.
My early crops, the lettuce and snow peas did well.
The garlic is looking OK. The onions BOMBED. Lots of small ones.
Tomatoes are looking fairly healthy but what I did this year was drape floating row covers over the tops of the tomato cages and clothes pinned them on. So far, miracle of miracles, no sign of blight.
I took it off for yesterday’s rain and let them dry off and need to cover them again later this afternoon to keep the dew off. I think that helps with the blight problem a LOT.
I’m getting some fall plantings in some zucchini, beans, lettuce, Brussel sprouts, started some cliantro in a pot. Also started some seed trays with cabbage, more beans, lettuce, baby bok choy, and a couple more zucchini.
I’m hoping to avoid the squash vine borers by planting them later. And if I don’t get a huge crop, that’s OK. It’ll give me some and that will be enough for what I need.
