I garden in zone 9 during the winter, so I planted potatoes, chard, hollyhocks, cilantro, carrots, and snap peas today. The beets, carrots, chard, cauliflower, bok choi, green onions, garlic, celery, and spinach I planted a few weeks ago look pretty good now. I began harvesting various greens this week; Alfalfa is the best mulch. I love your garden.
loofa. dried to brown on vine.. cut and finish dry inside if needed. peel off brown to expose loofa. cut or trim knife or scissors to size you want. use chopstick to poke out seeds. save few seeds for next year. have also heard you can process seed like pumpkin seed to eat. one gal said you can eat the young ones but i havent tried that one. lol thanks for your sharing. 👍🏻
Still have tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶️ producing here in southern AZ. My watermelon is done, but I have a couple butternut squash on the vine. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I’m anxious to see how you use that hay because I have several more truck loads of horse manure and several bales of old hay, all of which is untreated, free for the taking.
I am going to use it on top of the leaf piles for the most part...spoiler alert. Mostly where it is the thinnest. Thank you and I would like to know how you use your free treasure.
I'm about to do the urban alternative. . . scanning the neighborhood for bags of leaves. I'm too urban to get delivery of a bale that size. And the price is too high here. . . the leaves are free. I stack up as many bags as I can find. In our area the Thai Basil does over winter - mostly. But we don't get hard frost.
