Quick Hits...
- Broccoli is going strong.
- I put up a little bird netting *near* (not completely over) the tomatoes. I'm told that in some cases birds will avoid the vicinity of the nettling because it looks like something that could entangle them. We'll see.
- Both compost piles measured in the upper 140s this morning.
- I don't recall if I posted about it, but I scattered the remaining broccoli seed in an area where there was no longer anything growing. It's starting to germinate.
- I sent some soil to Raleigh for analysis yesterday. Looking forward to the report. I gathered several samples from the following areas:
- The "green" (growing) areas in the existing garden, where I amended heavily this spring.
- The "brown" (walking) areas in the existing garden. That area was tilled, but only slightly amended, so I suppose it could be quite different from the growing areas.
- The weed/grass area above my existing garden that's going to be part of the garden next spring
- The front yard. Looking to improve grass there.
Looking forward to getting the report from the sampling.
