Sorry I have not been posting. Life has been busy and not much to report in the garden. Well... is that really true?... If this blog is to be a journal of my garden journey then I should be posting on how things are going this year.
Why there is not much to report is because we have not had much of a summer here in the Bay Area (CA) this year. The tomatoes are taking a long time to ripen as well as the bell peppers. Mildew hit the garden early and all the winter and summer squash is covered with it as well as the cucumbers. Speaking of cucumbers... compared to last year are non-existent....I did get a few. I did get a better crop of onions this year compared to last year and the pole beans were out of control. I've had to start freezing them cause we couldn't eat them fast enough.
Lets see anything else... oh yea... the squirrels have been relentless and the blue jays love my raspberries. I can't wait for next season! :-)
Hi! Glad you checked in, but sorry your crops haven't been up to par. some of my stuff is way slow this year. My morning glories have yet to show a single blossom, and they were in full bloom in July last year. I planted them in three different places around the garden, 'cause they were so beautiful last year. Now all I have are three big clumps of green. My red peppers are still green, although a couple of them are just now beginning to turn. It was a great year for onions and beans here, too.
ReplyDeleteGranny - My MG started to bloom in early Aug. Last year May. Bell peppers last year's harvest July.. this year mid Aug. Wow what a summer growing season!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was wondering why you hadn't posted in a while. Sorry that the weather has been less than cooperative in your area this season, but hope next year is much better....
ReplyDeleteHi EG - All is well here outside of the poor season. I have been keeping up with all of my favorite blogs (yes that means yours too ;-))
ReplyDeleteYuck. Sorry to hear that things aren't going to swell this summer. I think we've all had a hard one. Hopefully fall will be better.
ReplyDeleteRibbit - Thanks! No Fall planting for me. Little to no sun in my yard come mid Sept. I do have the Haven garden I can play in this Fall. That garden gets sun all year.
