Garden Update - Final Week of September
This square foot gardening thing is criminally easy! A few photos from our visit at around 9:30 a.m. today:
Keisuke, thinning the sprouts.
Something happy. I’m not sure what it is — a pepper? A lettuce?
Cups and stakes.
Beans.
Sorrel from High Mowing Seeds in Vermont.
Bell pepper.
Sweet pea, Exhibit A: climbing our southern gate.
Sweet pea, Exhibit B: on the ground.
Insanely tall heirloom Yellow Brandywine tomato plant, also from High Mowing Seeds. I have never seen a tomato plant this tall on the east coast. It’s about 5’.
The bitter irony of heat waves continues; the more scorched the earth gets, the more our plants seem to burst skyward. We’re the ones shriveling and staying close to the ground.
Did you hear, Downtown L.A. hit 113 degrees yesterday? It was just as hot, if not hotter, where we live — a part of town that’s generally 10-15 degrees warmer than the shore. Lately, the spread feels more like 20.
I’m not a hot weather gal, but I’m glad the plants are happy. Everything’s growing nicely, and we’re only running two active boxes right now. We still have two empty ones to fill. Something to do after this &*(%*^ heat wave ends…
