Well I am back after a little hiatus from the web. But not gardening. First bed of winter veggies seeds are in and sprouting - carrots, beets and parsnips. some leftover Fava beans coming up, but I will plant more. they are an outstanding winter crop. Hope to get peas in next month, and keep the kale and chard going through the winter. Started lettuce and spinach in 4" pots to put out when they are big enough.
Peach crop was small this year, but not bad considering how bad the curl was. Seaweed helped, but the late rains took their toll none the less.
got my first apples this year, but some of them were mealy. Not sure why, maybe picked them too late?
Berry vines grew well, should get fruit next spring.
Almost lost my Persimimon tree over the summer, due to forgetting to hook up its drip! but it recovered, only lost the fruit for the year.
Pomegranate bush is Huge! no fruit yet ...
Can't wait to get some Oro Blanco grapefruit in a couple of months, my little tree is loaded! Need new christmas lights, better go shopping soon.
Another day in the life of a gardener.Don't forget to fertilize those fruit trees now, if you haven't given them their fall feeding already!
