Nov 27

Have dug bed 1 and covered with leaves and netting.  Dug quarter plot north and added a load from the bins.  Added loads from bin to bed 4 and quarter plot south as well.

The greens are doing well, as are the leeks.  Something I need to remember, but don't. 

Dahlias are in, one box of less thriving, including Juanita plus a set of unmarked tubers on top. 

For future, the mustards are doing well, the clover is coming along.

Notes for 2013

Peppers:
plant with more distance between them, and if the same varieties as 2012, stake taller

Basil

Don'tput under tomato netting

Tomatoes

Maybe no netting.  Need more support on cages or use twine more

Squash

Use floating row cover

Nov. 4

Sandy came through a week ago and seems to have ended the dahlias.  Have dug two sets of glads, the new ones in 2012 in one bag with duct tape and the set I planted first.  I think the first planting which was deep didn't develop the small corms the new ones did.

All tomatoes vines disposed of.  Plan to put the leaves under the netting for the winter.  Greens doing very well, including the spinach planted in Sept?   Still some peppers.

Around home the caladiums are down.  No frost yet.  Tried to mark the various perennials.  Need to rake and plan.
