Johnny and I had a date this morning. 5:15 a.m. Meet out at the Vegetable Beds. Till the soil, plant the seeds and let the day's rain do its work. Oh what a harvest it will be: bright red Dragon Carrots, Dark Red Beets, and Five Color Silverbeet. Oh my.
Alas, it was not to be. We woke to rain. And it was dark at that time anyway. So John went off to work. I went back to bed. Our beautiful fall planting will have to wait till later in the day.
In other farm woes, when oh when will the brussels sprouts and broccoli be ready? The plants are huge and healthy and there are little sprouts and florets, but they are growing at a snails pace. The seedlings were transplanted around June 1. The seed packet says 58-90 days (broccoli) and 80-115 days (sprouts) from transplant. We're at 96 days now. Hmmpf.
