I know that’s bad and it really has very little to do with this article, but I couldn’t resist. The rains have come. The ground is wet and warm. The time for weeds has come. That means the time for mulch is here too. Yesterday saw a small beginning. Part of the garden was side-dressed with compost and one wheelbarrow load of much went down.
People have been putting leaves on the side of the road for the trash collectors, but now they have quit. Now that the mulch is needed it is not available. The mulch in the mulch pile has to be ferried with a wheelbarrow. The mulch from the street is much easier to use.
Yesterday brought side shoots from the broccoli that were almost as large as the original heads. That means the broccoli plants will soon be in the compost pile and will be replaced with late-season tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. The sugar peas are starting to produce more heavily too. There is not a plan for that bed currently. It won’t hurt to leave it fallow; but I may try some new herbs.
