No posts in 9 days? Is everyone
harvesting? What little news I have here: My
bagged pomegranates are reddening up. We’ll see how they do.
The squirrels tore a corner off a couple bags, but the bags are intact and the
fruit undamaged. I wrote last year of my inedibly bitter
plums here at the new house. With a couple years of TLC, this year they
filled out, sweetened up, and look like Damsons. Wow. I’ve given up on the soil
here. I plan to till under my attempt at garden and cover crop the whole
yard with a tilth-builidng, nitrogen-adding, beneficial insect friendly, grass-choking
mix: bell beans, winter peas, a couple vetches, and oats. We’ll see
if I can actually grow something next year. I haven’t dared to put
small fruits in after the strawberries did so very poorly. That’s all the news from Garden
Wobegon… ~ S |
