The weather has been very hot and extremely dry here in Central Indiana for the past 2 weeks. Heavy rain was scattered about, but none fell in my garden :-( Because of the heat, I have delayed planting out the broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower seedlings until today. I cannot wait any longer to get these [...] The weather here in Central Indiana has been very hot, but at least it has rained enough to keep the garden producing without much supplemental watering. The tomatoes have produced a decent harvest despite the leaf disease. I was able to put up 7 containers of tomato sauce a few days ago. There are still [...] Happy Independence Day!! While we enjoy our cookouts and fireworks today, please remember that freedom is not free. Take a moment to pray for all of our active duty military personnel and our veterans and make sure to thank them for their service. The onions were pulled up this morning and are now drying over hardware [...] Harvest has now officially ended for the 2009 garden season. Surprisingly, a few of the brussels sprouts that remained on the plants were still harvestable on December 14th, despite the very cold temperatures that were experienced the few weeks prior. The remaining older sprouts that remain on the lower portion of the plants will not be [...] Well, the warm November weather is now but a memory as the first hard freeze hit the garden about 4 days ago. Low temperatures dropped to around 15 degrees for two nights in a row and the high temperatures struggled to get above freezing. This morning, the garden was blanketed by the season’s first measurable snowfall [...] The fall garden has produced very well this year, probably exceeding all past fall gardens that I have grown. The weather has played a big part in this success. After the cool wet October, the weather for the first 3 weeks of November has been warmer and relatively dry. The garden has experienced several light [...] Welcome to November. Here in Central Indiana it was one cold and wet October. There were two freezes and several frosting mornings over the past several weeks, but that is not too unusual for this time of year. Because of the cooler weather, some of the vegetables have taken their time to mature. The cauliflower [...] The garden was visited by ole Jack Frost on October 11th. Most of the plants that I wanted to save were covered with row covers, but some of the ends of the green beans were still nipped a little (low temps did not get below freezing, which is good). The garden continues to produce very [...] My early fall garden continues to produce a nice harvest. The garden finally received some much needed rain. The weather continues to be somewhat cooler than normal. There was some frost last week in parts of central Indiana, but my garden luckily avoided any frost. Harvest begins today on some of the August planted broccoli [...] |
