Another month has quickly whizzed by and before I know it, the summer garden is waning and I have no time to plant seedlings for a winter garden this week. Perhaps this weekend I can spend some time at the potting bench, even though the lunar guide says it's not a great time for planting seeds. I best spend Friday picking out what seeds to plant.
Yesterday I ordered 1 1/2 lbs of organic garlic to plant, both softneck varieties from Seeds of Change; Inchelium Red and Transylvanian. I'll plant that out as soon as it arrives; I just have to come up with a garden plan and figure out where it can go for 10 months without interupting my spring/summer garden. I have taken to making my own garlic powder. Not only is the store bought stuff too expensive but the flavor of my own powder is far superior, if I do say so myself.
Saturday was the first day of Autumn and boy, did Mother Nature bring it in with style! She took that hot, dry, boring summer and burst it with a couple of really good downpours of rain mixed with a flash of lightening here and there. Mind you, Northern California doesn't get true lightening storms, we only get the imagery of a very large camera flashbulb going off. But the sentiment was there and it was much appreciated. Sunday afternoon it warmed up enough to bring the crickets back that evening and that is the sound I fell asleep to.
