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.

I was able to harvest about 3 or 4 pounds of carrots from the last covered plot on January 9th. I was actually surprised on how much I was able to dig/pull out of the ground. This plot is now empty, a sad sight . I decided [...] I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I think my garden is just about finished producing for the year. I harvested several carrots growing under the hoop about 5 days ago, to use in a vegetable soup. These carrots were a little smaller than the other plot. I think the pole lima beans were [...] |
