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.
