My tomatoes not only protested the summer heat; they just got up and walked out of the garden. I was all set for tons of canning again this year, and that never materialized. But I'm going to keep trying with the lettuces and use my poly tunnels to keep them going when it gets too cold.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04527271561640503359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852572212937177257.post-26508003270644066592016-11-13T14:50:32.808-08:002016-11-13T14:50:32.808-08:00My students and I had trouble with spinach also (T...My students and I had trouble with spinach also (TWO planting failures, each with a different variety of spinach), and our broccoli looks too leggy. I think the fall temperatures were too high for good germination and growth. Even once the temperature starts to drop, the soil stays warm for a while.

It was an acre that had not been cared for in 4-5 years. We were only in our house 3 years and managed to get the English ivy (4,5000sf of it) under control. And get over 1,000 bulbs planted. The bulbs were the easy part. I highly recommend using a trenching shovel to attack the red clay. It'll take time but before you know it, you'll have it thriving and gorgeous.Modern Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04115702695710375645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852572212937177257.post-59679754904196021612014-07-11T04:40:46.059-07:002014-07-11T04:40:46.059-07:00Mia!!
