Catchin' Up

Sometimes reality gets in the way of what you actually wanna be doing. One thing we’ve been able to do following deconstruction of the Porch/Desk was to return potted stuff.

We like using Fabric Pots for their positive qualities, specifically that transplanting can be done much more successively. For this group it’s an experiment to see if we can get ongoing harvest of Cucumbers if the weather gets unbearably hot despite Climate Change being illegal or something like that. The Peppers have already proven to be durable and movable for several years.

We engage in a lotta “make do” meaning we make do with stuff we have on hand or that can be acquired cheaply. With the sun getting to the “beating down” state stuff preferring cool night and mild days suffer. We hope to minimize the sun’s negative by shading stuff; greens, peas celery especially. Over one bed we’re repurposing a twin, fitted sheet as a shade. The fitted corners fit on Bamboo Stakes, too! As a result we are still getting Peas. And some captive, Wasabi Arugula where I reinstalled Drip.

Tree Collards are not happy with too much sun, but they weather heat well if irrigation is in place.
