Govinda's Garden

Wednesday, November 30, 2022 High: 57 Low: 25 Cloudy, rained a lot last night Started cleaning out the raised bed garden. Removed wood chips from a few of the beds. Removed some dying plants that i plan to compost. Left some work for tomorrow.  Realized how much i like fennel seeds

Tuesday, November 29, 2022 High: 62 Low: 48 Sunny, some rain in the evening Purchased a few tarps and plan to use them to cover the raised beds. 

Monday, November 28, 2022 High: 53 Low: 37 Sunny Observed a fig tree protection structure fell, so I put it back up and added a stake

Sunday, November 27, 2022 High: 66 Low: 43 Partly Cloudy Filled the berry holes on the east side Created a second compost bucket Cleaned up the stairs and area below it. Put a bunch of pots and fencing in the crawl space. Got hit in the head by a fallen tree branch and got staples put in at the urgent care center

Saturday, November 26, 2022 High: 67 Low: 46 Partly Cloudy Laid weed barrier and leftover thick plastic near the fig trees on the south wall. Was a lot more work than I expected.

Friday, November 25, 2022 High: 57 Low: 29 Partly Cloudy, rained a bit overnight Noticed some baby comfrey popping up near the comfrey patch Noticed some animal scat near the car. It kind of looks like a dog, but could be something else. Noticed some burrowing holes dug by a creature at the bottom of the hill in the front. Moved the 8 blueberries on the east to a keyhole patch in the orchard. Feel good about this. Did some woodchip patching in the orchard Moved some dirt clods around the yard onto the dirt hill / compost section

Wednesday, November 23, 2022 High: 60 Low: 31 Sunny Mowed the backyard.  Gathered a bunch of trash in the yard and out it in the dumpster. pulled some weeds in the orchard and cleaned up the edge of the comfrey patch

Wednesday, November 23, 2022 High: 66 Low: 32 Sunny Published a new video about fig wounding Walked around the whole yard. Noticed the wild bergamot has started to spread. Nice.

Tuesday, November 22, 2022 High: 56 Low: 30 Sunny Transplanted the Hardy kiwi vibe to the southeast fence.

Monday, November 21, 2022 High: 55 Low: 27 Sunny Put up three more segments of fencing. Planning to move the hardy kiwi over there.

Sunday, November 20, 2022 High: 40 Low: 20 Sunny Mowed, laid cardboard, and chips to extend the orchard for an additional tree spot Added some wood ash and fresh chips to the last four figs that were still outside, then put them in the crawl space Pulled some weeds near the firepit

Saturday, November 19, 2022 High: 50 Low: 30 Sunny Pulled some buttercup weeds and patched some areas of the orchard with wood chips Cut all the comfrey leaves and dropped them around all of the trees in the yard Laid woodchips around the nectaries and apricots on the south side Firepit arugula finally not looking so food

Friday, November 18, 2022 High: 49 Low: 24 Sunny Harvested a few root vegetables: daikon and beets. They are all relatively small. I probably should not have pulled them. Observed a lot of frost damage in the vegetable garden. Cauliflower is probably dead. Cabbage does not appear to be making anymore progress.  Removed the support stakes for the pawpaws. Probably did have done that right when I got them. I accidently snapped one in the process and may have damaged the tree. I put some parasol wrap around it.
