We´ve gotten a little rain the last couple of days, but October and November and shaping up to be mostly dry. There are a couple of major cities that will be out of water by early next year if this keeps up. Scary.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002346978289429622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-25625291482806304582017-11-23T15:48:32.688+01:002017-11-23T15:48:32.688+01:00Hi, Coco!

And I was sorry to hear, over at Fernglade, about your drought. Should winter be your rainy season?<br /><br />PamPam in Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895842137691734477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-53966781873859911122017-11-22T10:39:21.011+01:002017-11-22T10:39:21.011+01:00Hi Chris,

The tractor guy is going to ask around if there´s a source for manure that will deliver. The soil actually looks wonderful. So now I´m enthusiastic again.<br /><br />Hi GZ,<br /><br />I still have garlic in storage from this year, and of course bought some for planting. I´m seriously considering going into micro scale flower farming, so would like to use the other patch for some seed sowing experiments and perennials. Garlic is pretty readily available, and grown domestically (i.e. not from China, unlike some places)so I´m OK with missing out for a year.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002346978289429622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-87647348458892123072017-11-21T22:07:57.445+01:002017-11-21T22:07:57.445+01:00garlic in big tubs?garlic in big tubs?gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499671076590096775.post-72688275166054391302017-11-21T11:44:21.724+01:002017-11-21T11:44:21.724+01:00Hi Coco,

When the excavator guy was here cutting in the house site, I got him to deep rip an area that is now an orchard. After he finished we spread by hand many wheelbarrow loads of compost and then broadcast some seeds.<br /><br />After about eight years, that area has perfect drainage and there is about 20cm (2/3rds of a foot) of top soil. You watch over the next few years as it will slowly become more fertile. It will take some time and protection from the summer sun.<br /><br />Go Breo and may you enjoy hiding your bones!<br /><br />ChrisFernglade Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950962122594709186noreply@blogger.com
