    November Garden Update

    Nov 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment

    The garden is in transition right now.

    Many of the natives are getting ready to start their growing since summer is more like winter elsewhere in that California natives go dormant in the summer to withstand the heat and lack of rainfall. Once the rains start, they start growing.

    I am switching the edible garden from Summer to Winter too. I just picked the last of the eggplants yesterday and need to remember to plant more than one next year. The banana peppers are still producing, but I picked and pickled about a ½ pound yesterday. I'll find out in two weeks if they are any good. I cut the grapevines back for the year and made wreaths out of them - but that will be another post.

    The grasses have been fun to deal with - NOT. I have reseeded patches of the lawn trying to fill in dead spots, which meant hand watering on the 90+ degree days, but I think they may actually take hold.  Then there are the natives (deer grass and whatever that other sharp grass is that cuts my arms to shreds whenever I need to trim it) that need to be hacked back to the ground this time of year or they become fire hazards.

    Lizards are everywhere and so are dead bees. I guess they don't like 90 one day and 65 the next. Truthfully I am not that fond of it either.

    And now for the photos...

    Good bye garlic chives - see you next year.
    Good bye grapes - see you next year.
    The hummingbird fuchsia is starting to look tired,
    another 6 weeks or so until that is cut to the ground for the year.

    Carrot sproutlets that will hopefully be ready for Santa's reindeer in a few months.
    Arugula is producing nicely.
     Squash bought as a seedling from the nursery - bad luck with growing from seed this year.
     Another crop of beets that will hopefully be ready to make
    pickled beets for Christmas presents.

    Black Seeded Lettuce, third and final try. First didn't sprout,
    second got this big and died (from the heat?)

    Third attempt at rooting some of the natives and this is the only one left.
    Cross your fingers it actually forms roots.
    Crystal clear pond with a few lily pads still left.
    Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
