Good Bye Summer
Heirloom Zinnia in the new front bed Yesterday it was 80 degrees when I drove into town. Tonight NOAA is predicting temps in the low teens; to this point, we've had a few nights with a light frost. This will be our first hard freeze of the year. I've got some low tunnels planted with greens like kale, lettuce, and spinach. We'll see how they do. I finally got all the garlic planted and covered with straw last week. This will be my first year of growing it in the new garden. I'm curious how it will do. I planted hard neck varieties (Spanish Roja and Siberian), as well as some unidentified type that I brought home from my dad's garden in Maine. As with all gardening efforts here, I'm prepared for disappointment. My dad also warned that the first few years of planting garlic, the cloves produced might be small, because it takes a few years for it to adapt to local growing conditions.
