The winds are back and there a bit of chill in the air. Last weekend, I pulled out the cucumber vines and the borage plant. The roses are getting ready for their fall blooming. The buds are steadily getting eaten by the snails. I rush to the garden after school to water and the traffic has been bad. The dill has reseeded itself and I am ready to plant some more greens. The one lone tomato plant has fruit on it but who know what the fruit will taste like. We have started a few trays of kale and cabbage seedlings. The trick is always to use FRESH seeds.

You never know what the donated seeds had to go through. Sun, wind, fluctuating temperatures, and moisture. Sometimes you have to pay the extra bucks to ensure that your seeds are 90% viable. I am not going to guarantee 100% percent but as long as you sow them throughout the growing season, you can really maximize the growing potential just by storing the seeds in a cool, dark , and dry place when opened. I can't just go to the nursery and plop like 5 dollars for a few plants. It is not about the money but my ability to plan and start my own seedlings.

The weather has gotten so inconsistent lately. I don't even know what is going on. The Santa Anas? The air is dry and leaves are getting crispy. The bagrada bugs have not made an appearance on my kale yet I have every reason to believe that they will be here soon.
