Today is the first day of my new garden blog. I've created it to keep track of my vegetable garden. I'll post photos, data on what's ripe, varieties, and ideas for next year. I'll also put in an occasional photo.
Today is really hot ( 90 degrees). Yesterday was 99, so we're moving in the right direction. Most of the veggies have taken the heat in stride, but the ones planted along the south wall of the house (rhubarb, eggplant) have suffered a bit. I put up a shade cloth to give them a little protection, and I've watered them a lot. I'm going to rethink putting anything in that bed next year. I thought it would be good for them, but I guess it's too much of a good thing.
Today I started a big pot of Arctic Tundra Blend lettuce, arugula, and mizuna. The lettuce that I started in six packs has started to come up, as well as the lettuce in the big pots among the squash on the deck.
