Good morning, fall plantings by and large are doing well. The stocking in the pea bed is not full cover but it does look to be about 50%. This should still make for decent harvest, especially since the coverage is well spread out across the bed. Next week it looks like there will be Asian greens, some spinach, and boc choy. There is lettuce to be transplanted, most of the older lettuce has bolted. I am optimistic about harvests for Brussel sprouts, cabbage and kohlrabi. Not sure when they will be ready but they are doing well. As for the broccoli and cauliflower, it looks like a cut worm or more have been having a bit of a party. I had enough replacements but this is a set back for them. With luck the cauliflower will head up after any severe cold this winter but before it starts to get warm. Time will tell. I have only about 15 feet of sweets to harvest. This bodes well for sweets being around for quite a while yet.
Bulb onion seeds have been sown and garlic will be planted this coming weekend.
As for the jungle of weeds in the garden, once the sweet harvest is done, I can work on them. I am thinking of getting a burn nozzle and fry seedlings at a young age. It is with hope by not disturbing the surface that maybe I can prevent some of the seeds germinating. Sounds good on paper.
It has been a bit of an interesting garden year and I am ready for this one to end. With luck next year I can be a bit more focused.
Follows is an updated list of what I am growing, please email as to availability and prices. Chard, kale, green onions, carrots, lettuce, butternut squash, garlic, beets, sweet potatoes, and beans.
