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.
I hope your van continues to run. This SUV has a third row of seats in it which we don’t need so will keep those folded down to have more room in the back for hauling whatever. I think the first trip to break in the new car will be to Bossier City, Louisiana, to a casino there.
I envy your ability to grow food in the winter and especially in your house. If I can get that one type tomato to grow in the house, I will be amazed, but I didn’t think I could grow anything at all to start with on this venture, and growing a plant from a seed was miraculous.
