    What did you do in the garden today?

    Today I harvested more corn, chard, Anaheim peppers, curly kale and a pathetic looking little pumpkin whose destiny is simply decor now. Temps keep fluctuating, just when it seems to go to "normal" seasonal temps a pressure system moves in and its back in the 90's. Anxious to plant the "cool...

    Soaked the plots really well yesterday. Santa Ana, "Devil", winds are predicted for this week which can desiccate any plant in short order.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Watered heavy yesterday. Knew I would be working late today. Prediction was for high heat, into the 90's, end of this week. Santa Ana winds are coming and that dries out everything. Can't really do much more during the week unless I adjust my work schedule
