This picture hurts my eyes every time I look at it, but the chicken wire is what saved this last remaining plant as all the others have been eaten up by critters. Amazingly, it’s also still producing fruit!
Everything else is pretty much kaput for this year. Even my late planting of romaine lettuce hasn’t panned out. Maybe the seed was too old, I’m not sure. In any case, I’ve decided to turn all the beds over in preparation for the coming winter. A winter that is forecast to be long, cold and snowy by the way. It would get a chance, do read the forecast carefully. I’m in agreement that things may get a little wacky with climate extremes due to some of the things going on with the sun (solar minimum) and with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Remember how this summer was? That’s also part of the same pattern, so you have been forewarned!
