It ’s been a unknown wintertime . Lots of rain , slew of warmth , and a superfluity of great day to puzzle out outside .
Last nighttime we fetch a hard frost and it ’s still unthaw out … but before that hit I took a few motion picture in the garden . It ’s hard to believe how wonderfully everything is doing at this time of class … but we still have cabbages :
And even papaya … though they ’re probably cooked now . We ’ll see in a twenty-four hour period or two what kind of damage they suffered . In this snap , they ’re still looking salutary on a nice rainy 24-hour interval :
And an awful bed of salad greens . We inseminate them a couple of months ago with a mixture of kelp meal , cottonseed meal , rock phosphate , unslaked lime and a emergency of borax and Epsom saltiness . As you may see , the plants are very happy with all the victuals :
The precise premix I used is inthis book .
Steve Solomon has an copiousness of tantalizing insight , as usual . I extremely recommendThe Intelligent Gardenerfor a face at how micronutrients bear upon plant and human health .
The garden have sure enjoyed it … at least until last night .
I ’m keeping my fingers cross . It ’s get going to freeze again tonight .
