Well, I've been enjoying the, um, the, the good weather for gardening, and then I've also been really wanting it to rain because I think it's supposed to be raining n- now, not being so incredibly hot in Nevada County.
But, uh, you know, gardeners, we have to flow with it, so that's what we're doing.
So instead of having my crop, like most vegetables, you know, eventually be done, I'm gonna really have to take care of everything so that it's all set up for the winter.
And what I do is I take my plants like, uh, let's see, ashwagandha, lemon verbena, everybody who's a little bit sensitive, and take 'em, and then I put 'em on my porch for transition.
I leave them out there as long as I can towards winter, and then eventually, most everybody has to come in the house.
And I have a very small house, but I have very large windows that face south, so it's pretty cozy in here.
And no, you know, a lot of the plants do pretty well for a few months, and then after that, they start looking like they really need to be outside.
And then also, I've been pickling green beans and making sauerkraut and harvesting like crazy from my vegetable garden, which is quite happy right now.
In fact, I have a, a, I really should be asking the listening audience this time.
And I've been online trying to figure out what happened, because the part, like, about three-quarters of them would ripen, and then the very top of them, not so.
So my choice was either to cut off the top, about a third of them, and put it in the compost.
I'm always happy to add stuff to the compost, but still, I want those tomatoes.
Or try to ripen them, but I had to bring them in because the soft part on the bottom was ripening too much.
