It rained again this week, so I'm good on water. The wheat is growing fast, it's 8" tall now. Carrots, celery and cabbages doing well.

I harvested about 600 lbs of weeds and grass clippings while they were slightly damp and loaded up the compost pile yesterday. As of a few minutes ago, the internal temp on the compost pile was over 100F. My compost tea really gets a compost pile working quickly.

Sounds like life is good down your way. I am behind schedule here for the fall/winter plantings, and I haven’t started the home canning of meats yet this year either.

Refresh my memory please - what is in your compost tea?

Thanks johnny, I never thought to add compost tea to the
new compost stuff. Thank you.

Tomorrow is community garden day. Hopefully we’ll have a
nice turn out. Hubby and friend got some 2x12s from a fellow who just wanted to get rid of them. So we’ll have
more raised gardens, this time a few 2”x12”x3’. He has more, so as time goes by, we’re welcome to the rest, he even
has rebar that he wants to get rid of. I’m going to make
a concrete block raised garden, so will get some of that
rebar.
