Change In The Air

GoDawgs · October 5, 2019

Hallelujah! It's cloudy. It's breezy. It's 75 out there where yesterday at this time it was already 90. All of the windows and doors are open. YES! Time to take a leisurely garden stroll and drink in the cool air.

First stop is checking the dead zinnia flower where Ms. Green Lynx spider has been guarding her egg cocoon. Today there are tiny ones emerging! She's also added some cottony webbing to the nursery that hasn't been there. And she herself isn't totally bright green anymore.

Last night Pickles and I removed all shade cloth from beds since cooler weather is here. We're hoping for real rain to make the plants really jump. The hoops will stay deployed "just in case".

Cabbages... they need some bT for whatever's munching the leaves:

I think the peas have a touch of nematodes making skips in the rows but the uncovered kale, collards and brussels are looking good.

The bush beans have fared well without shade. These are Contenders next to the new turnip row. Big Red Ripper peas in the background; three regular rows and one trellised. More on that later.

It's Football Saturday which means Total Relax Day! We're off in a short while to eat at the local hole in the wall Chinese buffet and then come home for a full day/evening of hopefully good games. Some good ranked vs ranked today and then tonight the Georgia Dawgs play at Tennessee.Go Dawgs!

Y'all enjoy your day!
