• And so it ends

    From T@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 16 15:42:21 2024
    Hi All,

    Tonight the temperature is suppose to get down to 30F and
    tomorrow it is suppose to get down to 22F.

    Hoses and swam cooler are unhooked and drained.

    So I harvested all I could and started pulling out plants.
    I am about half way there.

    Berries were a disaster: seven off of seven choke berry
    bushes; 10 off our four goji berry bushes (thousands
    last year); zero off four black berry bushes.

    six zucchini plants: three fruits each. Despite my
    planting green onions with them, I still got squash
    bugs, but only about 20 of them. I killed about 16
    of them.

    Cucumbers: I am over run with them.

    Sweet 100's cherry tomatoes: more than I can handle.
    I am over run with them.

    My bunching onions are going crazy.

    Garlic is now in. Store bought organic garlic
    from Columbus Farms.

    My onions, after 15 days and watering every day,
    are now sprouting and are about two inches tall.
    Hope they make it through the freeze.

    Now to start scheming and plotting about next year.
    I always vow not to plant zucchini becasue of the
    squash bugs, but their fruit is just so damned tasty.

    Forgot the peppers. About 10 each from three
    plants. They were so, so yummy!
