#fall planting

[atiya3aha]

I just spent two days playing in dirt. I sowed a lot of seeds. And I also got into a fight with a hummingbird. Those little coked out birds cannot be reasoned with.

Yes I know this is your territory.

Yes I know the pickings are slim.

Yes I know I am in the way.

But my guy, you have to let me get these seeds in so YOU can have more things to get your druggie little fix.

Fucking Hummingbirds.

Aggressive little shits.

I let my basil bolt for these birds.

I gave them verbena

I ordered Jolt Purple Dianthus.

If it weren't for the caterpillars, there would have been borage too.

You know this is a multi-purpose space, you gotta learn to share little fella.

so many violas.......

i got all of these from some friends who work at a big box gardening store for free!! yay!!! most of these will be going into planters & pots, as i'm trying to put windowbox planters all around my back deck railing, so it's all pretty for the cold seasons! but i might plant a few into the garden beds... i don't know for sure yet.

if you have any ideas for cold-hardly plants/flowers/seeds that can survive a zone 7b winter in pots, please please lmk!! it would help a lot to get some opinions from people!

Sometimes technology is worse. After two hours trying to set up a data base in libre office base for the flower garden. I find out after two entries the table cannot be rearranged once created, any record could not be added to once entered, and that the search by category sucks. Took me less then an hour to write it all out by hand and categorize it with highlighters.

October 31

Planted garlic because that's what you do on spooky days

But then some of them looked strange so not those ones

In the fall garden, I've got

- 12 kale plants (8 lacinato, 4 that's sorta frilly & sorta red) They've been growing a while and are doing well - 12 or 16 cauliflowers, planted rather late bc they were left over at work. Not sure what kind. - Lots of lemony volunteer sheep sorrel - Lettuces planted in amongst all of the above Also got in late (this week), for the same reason. - 1 lavender, 1 St. John's wort, and a whole tray of something that is similar to (but not quite) yarrow, and - A cleared space by the comfrey to put those last in. I'm waiting a few days to set them in the ground, since I just dumped a wheelbarrow full of rabbit-barn-floor there. - And here comes Omie!

Now I need to figure out how I'm going to cover all this for the frost we're due to get later this week!
