October 28, 2016 - Mid-autumn

We're well into autumn now and even getting regular rain coming in. I finally planted the onions and garlic once I removed the tomatoes. Next up will be more greens and beets in Box 1 then when the peppers and basil have passed, fava beans and spring peas in Box 4. Although we've received a few weather systems coming through, they have been warm rains. It looks like we'll be getting something from the north later this weekend and one more after that but looks dry for a while afterwards. WeatherWest is warning of another RRR winter which may mean that the drought extends into yet another year but we'll see. There's really no way of knowing what's going to happen.

Box 2
Onions on the right, the garlic on the left popped up very quickly.

Box 3


The broccoli is growing well after the rains.

 Box 4

The peppers are turning red and ready to go. The basil is hanging in until cooler weather.


Box 5

The herbs are hanging in there, hopefully until at least February.
