Time to check in with the growth. It is the 20th of November and just over a month since seeding my my winter vegetable garden.
The last few weeks have been rainy. At first I thought this was great because it meant I did not have to water as much but instead I would face a different task. Making a garden from one's own backyard soil means dealing with an drove of weeds all hatching from their little well wetted seed encasings after a series of heavy rains. There are soooo many!
As it turns out - weeding is very relaxing when they are baby sprouts and the soil is moist. Plus I enjoy being outside in the fresh air.
There is a whole little echo system down there in the dirt. So much activity! I noticed a few little bug bites on the broccoli as well. Luckily - I prepared for this moment.
It's time to bring out the
Garlic Fire Spray - my natural solution to pest control.
Below are pictures of the veggies from earlier this week - including Brussels Sprouts who joined the party last.
