We got a lot of work done in the garden this week.
In Sung, Les Risner, Twila Christian, Sue Butler and her mom Sally, Bob Hathaway, Dave Fitzgerald and I:
(Hope I didn't fergit anyone.)
Spread half of the donated bales of wheat straw on plot (front right).
Mulched the garlic, which is sprouting!!!
Planted several rows of Bloomsdale spinach and Rainbow Swiss chard and applied 13-13-13.
Thinned the daikon reddishes.
Set out over 300 onyun sets after soaking them in Carbon Boost.
Some lessons here:
1) Bare ground is a waste and a break in the cycle of life.
2) Southern gardens can grow something all year around.
3) A gardeners work is never done.
4) Needy people are hungry on holidays and in cold weather.
We still need to clean out the south side of plot 1 (left rear) and plant more spinach so as not to waste good soil or have bare ground.
Next work day is 4pm Wednesday December 19 when we pick the rest of the turnips and cabbiges and take to the Collierville Food Pantry the next morning. We have to because if it frosts, the produce will be too brittle Thursday morning. This is the last picking of the year.
Ain't God good!
