Love the tagline. My garden got hit hard by bugs, too much rain on the wrong days to dust. Rained a week straight, on and off. On the other hand, my pullets are now Hens, 8-9 eggs a day. They give Dr. Pol’s feed a thumbs up. The south is a hard-growing area due to annual high heat or lack of rain. This was an off year.
Any tips on overwintering root vegetables? I’m trying rutabagas, turnips, carrots and onions in zone 6b. If it works, I could have something growing 365 days a year.
Had our first (soft) frost 3 days ago. Tomatoes are down, squash half in, ‘taters half in. Leaving the carrots and beets for now, one more good sized cucumber to pick.
One bed is ready for rock-picking, the others need a run with the Troy-Bilt, then I can play there too. Hopefully I can get the rocks out and the soil amendments in before the snow flies.
Not a great harvest this year, but I started too late, and it *is* a new place, so I have literally zero experience in how to grow here. Going from the west coast to the interior mountains is quite a change. Only a bit further North, but a LOT higher above sea level.
Happy harvesting to my fellow gardeners.
Howdy! I tried storing dahlia tubers last winter (in wood shavings) and all the tubers dried out, and were unviable in spring. Bought new tubers from Swan Island Dahlias (dahlias.com) in spring, and want to try another storing method this winter.
Any ideas on this?
