Again this year the fall snuck up on me and I didn't get my seeds started anywhere near when I would like. Which really stinks, because this is my favorite time of year in the garden, the only time I can grow broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, lettuce, and celery. On the bright side, things are finally starting to get down to business.
The dollar is there for scale. I have not found a way to grow them, yet.
I've resolved not to make the same mistake for spring. So, Nov 15, three full months before I'll start the garden, I started my seeds. From the looks of it, it was a good decision for the eggplants.
Okra, on the other hand, maybe doesn't need quite so much lead time.
The okra picture is pretty poor. Hard to get the level of detail I wanted while at the same time showing the whole window height for scale. I'd try harder, but the picture I really wanted the other night when there was a pretty yellow flower on one of them I plain forgot to take, so now I don't feel like messing with it.
We dined on broccoli again this week. So sweet tasting. The cauliflower hasn’t made yet but the freezing night temps did a number on the plants. Those may be gone in a few days anyway when Mr. b gets out the tiller because he doesn’t understand to go around producing plants. He’s the guy who never mows but decided to a week after I planted lilacs. Yep, mowed right over them. I may have stand in front of the asparagus and triple dog dare him to get close.
We’re supposed to work on doubling the size my teeny little garden if it warms up this afternoon, brrr. Yesterday, we bought another cattle panel (price rose 32% from last year) and mapped out the septic system (neener, neener, I was right) which wasn’t placed with a garden or a porch in mind.
