No beets...

... at least, not in the main garden. Whatever plagued me last spring is still there- beets sprout and then "something" eats the new leaves off. I still have a faint hope for the ones in the large pot on the side.

Raked up the soil where the beets were and a few bald spots in the rows of greens and scattered in more turnip seeds.

Had about a half inch of badly needed rain last night. Fall is officially here but today was the first day of less-than- 95 degree highs we have had in about a month. At 3:30PM it's 81 degrees.

More beets

Having a hot end of summer stretch- dry and temps in the 90's. Planted a few more beets because they came up spotty- also planted them in the big black planter just because I had some left that had been soaked. Did all that on Monday Sept 13.

Watering every day.

Germination!

Amazed that the mustard and turnips germinated in 48 hrs; saw them on Tuesday morning 9/7. - already thinning them. Beets also up as of today. Very fast indeed.

Had a little rain Tuesday and Wednesday, about 1/2 inch. Weather a little warmer, high in the mid 90's. Tropical storm Hermine did not bring us any rain, but flooded Texas.

Labor Day Weekend

Planted a long row of pink-top turnips and a long row of mustard greens on Saturday Sept 4, and planted 2 short rows of beets - after soaking seeds overnight- on Sunday (today) Sept 5.

Still have 3 or 4 eggplant plants and some bell pepper plants left from the summer garden. We'll see if they do anything.

Beautiful fall-like weekend, lows in 50s highs in 80's, clear. We do need some rain.
