Well, was hot. then it was dry for weeks. finally some rain and far cooler weather. I worried, but everything is growing just fine. I am glad I took a chance and planted early ( last frost date here May 5 to May 15 depending on what schedule you find)
I'm picking radishes- lots of them. and we are eating lovely lettuce. Swiss chard won;t be much longer.
I don;t take the radish greens to the compost pile. I simply lay it on any bare spot in the poly-culture beds. We;ve worked to build great soil- the critters can make compost for you right in place!why move it around?
We did have to apply some NEEM to the apple trees. saw a few fungusy spots. they seem fine now.
We supplied tomatoes plants for 5 families, basil plants for 4, and gave a ton of heirloom seed to yet another. it is such a simple thing- to grow a few extra plants- costs you nothing...helps all of us.
