Spaghetti squash on the compost pile.
Clearing brush for the fence
Hoping the last post didn’t hit a rock. Cutting back the mesquite means a little fire wood for next year.
Now to just finish up getting the wire on and this section will be done.
Waking up to holes like this means either a raccoon or a skunk. Traps are set.
Glad to see the fungi! Fungi are very necessary for proper nutrient cycling in the garden. I also understand some fungi eat the root feeding nematodes so the more the merrier!
And Shazam!! Just like that it was fall. Some rain and cooler temps have been a blessing.
The new Lancinato kale are almost big enough to pick. I swapped their shade cloth for bird net.
A couple days ago I cleared out this bed when I realized it had root knot nematodes.
The nematodes are why the squash plants were sickly and most died this year.
It’s on a slope and it’s retaining boards were leaning. So I shoveled out the dirt, reset the boards and carried on. I sprayed an organic nematocide and watered it in. I put on some fresh compost, planted various seeds, stole the shade cloth from the bed next door. Fingers crossed my new plan of attack alleviates the nematodes.
