It’s the season for growing rain puddles!
Just realizing the last post requested some real rain; wow, four months ago! We moved into most of fall without substantial moisture, and then it started to be a little more serious in mid-November. It joined us in Hawaii, too; the Big Island having one of its wettest years. Weather shifts everywhere!
Frosty and frigid temperatures came by during early December, making the lettuce and chard stress; frost wilt has an interesting look. A move into the December deluges we have going now, is balancing out the summer drought, but required a harvest of the lettuce, which was giving up due to a bit of rot and slug problems. The beets are surviving the fluctuating surface ponds, and the chard is in some sort of stasis…
It is, after all, the season of rest now that we have reached Winter Solstice in our part of the world.
Wishing everyone a bountiful, healthy, peaceful, and enjoyable holiday season!
