The fall garden has been a spotty thing this year. Cucumbers came up great and died. Squash came up well and have small squash, that grow so slowly that the pickle worms find them. The sugar peas came up and went away. They were replanted and have not come back up. The 1st radishes are getting some size, but they have no radishes. The spinach came up and went away and had to be replanted. The cabbage was doing well, but has disappeared.
The arugula is doing well as is the mesclun. The mustard and turnips have been picked several times. The kale that was planted at the same time as the mustard and turnips is growing really slowly. The onions and collards planted a week ago have not even come up. The fig tree is loaded, but they are not getting ripe.
The bed in the center of the front yard has been completely reworked. All of the living plants were dug up. The bed was sided with a double row of landscaping timbers and filled with compost and dirt. Three artichokes were planted and the irises and cannas were replanted. The cannas will be moved to another bed, but they had to be replanted in that bed, because there is no place for them yet. That bed will get a lot more work through the week and next weekend.
