We can only start the seedlings, and many should have been started in January, especially the peppers and eggplants.
We didn't have a summer last year, ran out of our own provisions a long time ago. We had ONE MONTH of tomatoes, September 1--October 1, and that was IT. Got a very few squashes, a few eggplants, enough peppers to fill a bag but certainly not enough to pickle. Same thing with the tomatillos, got enough to make maybe a dozen pints of sauce.
And the beds..? Oh man, they need some serious work. Overgrown and weedy, lots of pulling to be done. Will have to lay down the irrigation after that's done, shouldn't be too hard. But some of those weeds have stalks as thick as my wrist, seriously. None of my cover crops germinated, probably because when they were sown last fall we got a few days of rain and that was it, and I wasn't able to take care of the watering.
Now I'm working to get myself back to where I was physically two years ago. Wish me luck, because I want to eat, to grow, to live me some life.
