Govinda's Garden

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 High: 71 Low: 58 Cloudy Picked up more cardboard (80 pounds) Purchased garlic bulbs from Reems Creek Nursery (Elephant and Music) Ate some figs that had dropped or softened. A couple of the Olympians were not too bad. Longue D'aout hasn't dropped any yet Added some old potting mix into the compost bin and turned it around

Tuesday, October 11, 2022 High: 71 Low: 54 Partly Cloudy Watered veggie garden Laid more mulch. Out of cardboard again. Harvested one blackberry Figs are dropping, not ripening. Some are soft, but not juicy. Planted strawberries in-between three grapes. The soil under the cardboard and mulch actually seemed pretty good! Moist and not too clayey.

Friday, October 7, 2022 High: 74 Low: 46 Partly cloudy - Got some chips delivered from Doug, a truck load in the backyard. - Got cardboard at the paper center. One hundred pounds for six dollars. - Sheet mulched a section of the yard. - Olympian did starting to ripen. - Foraged more food from Euclid 

Thursday, October 6th, 2022 High: 73 Low: 45 Sunny Noticed that two of the ripe-ish Longue D'Aouts dropped this morning. I filmed some footage of the figs and had some thoughts about cold hardiness. Curious why some figs drop. Reached out to two mulch people. Good timing with Doug. He said he has a load he could deliver tomorrow. Transplanted two more red raspberries, for a total of five in the row. Drive in two t-posts for the trellis. Ordered the wire for it today. Major cleanup of the burn pile area. Had a nice fire and burned some junk. Hauled the grass and dirt clods over to the pile. The southwest area is looking a lot better. Watered the veggie garden. Went out when it was dark but didn't see any pests (caterpillars). Hopefully it's to cold for them now. Mowed and weed whacked
