scrubjayspeaksWelcome to the November edition of Pandemic Garden Club! Growing good things in strange times!
Anyone is welcome to comment with what they're growing right now, things they would like to try, problems they're encountering, and questions they have. Share resources, answer questions, shout encouragement.
As for myself...
The frost has come. It’s been below freezing for at least a few hours each morning lately. The cold frames are getting closed up in the evening and the tarp is pulled down over the rack of succulents at the front of the house. I’ll need to pull out sheets and blankets soon to cover other things.
Thus ends this year’s very modest pumpkin patch. We got a few tiny guys, for which I was grateful. This is the first time I’ve gotten white pumpkins (though not the first time I’ve planted them).
I’ve had this white sage plant since, uh, late spring? I finally dug a hole for it and got it in the ground. I had bought two other plants with it that didn’t survive the summer. The executive dysfunction life is occasionally deadly to potted plants… Still, I have high hopes for this one. The other sage I planted has expanded aggressively, so they seem to do well here.
I do love the absurd flowering cycles of the succulents. Yes, little echeveria, this is a fine time to put out flowers. Why not?
