July 2018
This is what is going on in my garden July 2018!
Total grocery bill: $305.89 (vegi only total $19.82)
Month’s To Do List:
- (not doing this year) Rototill and start composting in okra bed area
- (partially done) Finish shed organization
- (not done) Add wire to rebar to finish espalier tree supports
- (move to winter task) Continue working on master seed spreadsheet for when to plant anything
Harvesting:
- Garlic
- Green Beans
- Lemon Squash
- Onions
- Tomatos
- Zucchini
Planted:
- nothing
What am I doing?:
- I am taking care of family – I am spending very little time in the garden
- Able to get some harvests
- I lost my Haas Avocado tree – it appears to be root rot – that seemed odd for me, I watered it the same as the Reed Avocado, but my research as well as the nursery woman came up with the same conclusion
- Our custard apple tree got scale – we scrapped all off with small screwdrivers – we will have to treat the tree next winter/spring
Musings:
- Some of the dahlia’s are blooming and they are beautiful to look at
- I don’t think I have seen a prettier flower than those on the snake gourd plant. They smell amazing in the morning, but you cannot smell them too much the rest of the day. I would grow this again just to see the flowers.
Onion harvest, garlic harvest…..then I have green beans zucchini and lemon squash, tomatoes and manathakari
