Good morning gardeners. I was up at 0230 and there were just a few high clouds. We ran an errand after the dogs played at the park and could literally see the downpour headed for our house as we drove away. It didn’t last long but it rained, in my yard! I have decided that since the heat has been so unbearable and I haven’t been able to accomplish a lot that I’m pretty much done this year. Between now and next Spring I’m going to clean out beds, have the soil tested, and amend the shade garden. I do have a spot I’m prepping for garlic this fall, but other than that I’m just going to maintain and prep better for next year. That includes setting up sunken beds with shade in the veg garden. I’m also going to try growing some ginger indoors also. My house smells amazing right now, I’m roasting ginger, garlic and shallots to make curry paste.
