1. November in the Garden
It bothers me to see holiday decorations in stores before Halloween. Retailers aren’t gardeners, so they don’t understand the value of the fall season. It’s the best growing season for warm-winter climates. It’s also a time of reflection, time to shed the old, and prepare for renewal. Let’s celebrate fall in all its splendor before the holiday season arrives.
In our test garden, we’re harvesting radishes and the first lettuces, bok choy, and mustard greens of fall. We’re still planting cover crops, re-seeding carrots and spinach, and preparing beds for onion transplants. Our brassicas are safe under floating row cover and will be ready to start harvesting next week. It’s time to cut back blackberry canes, grasses, and old artichoke stems to get them ready for winter. If you haven’t ordered bare-root fruit trees or perennial vegetables yet, now is the time!
Two things: 1) We’re excited to announce our very first Gardenerd HQ Fall Garden Tour. Come celebrate the fall gardening season with us, take a tour of the Gardenerd Test Garden, and get answers to your burning questions in person. See details below. 2) Also, don’t forget our Black Friday sale with 15% off Gardenerd mugs, grocery totes, Ultimate garden bags and autographed copies of Gardening for Geeks. Use the code 17BLACKFRIDAY15 at checkout Nov. 24-27th.
Happy Gardening,
Christy
