Weekend Update for 2007-09-22
Skipped a week, as we're dealing with an ailing dog, an impending
root-canal, and oh, did I mention my sciatica? ;) Anyway, as the harvest
season is drawing down, and the changes aren't that drastic, except that
I've found a few more "nosy tomatoes".
The pumpkins and the
watermelon are ready to harvest as well. The watermelons are the size of
- hmmm... cannon balls? Twice the size of a softball but not quite as
big as a soccer ball. As it was warm on Sunday, the one I cut into was a
welcome treat.
The tomato bounty continues, as does the squash,
though as mentioned a lot slower here in Zone 5.

Hydroponics are starting to seem attractive again, and a couple of links are piqueing (peeking? Peking?) my curiosity. The famed Square Foot Gardening author has taken an interest in them too: link Also in Ithica, where the snow comes in hard and heavy, fresh salads aren't always coming in from Fresno: link - plus a related link: FingerLakesFresh
Time to go, more next week or when I can take a lunch break!
