Watering in the warm October



We have had an incredibly warm October, with some significant wind. The soils continue to be warm and many still-green plants in my garden are still blooming, so I know they need water, though at  a reduced rate. 

I had the most incredible gourd harvest off my south-side trellis because of the weather.

You should have your soils moist going into winter, whenever it comes. If you have had your irrigation system blown out already, then unfortunately you will have to haul hose like me. But we have been gifted with a fabulous Fall, so this seems a small payback for our gardens’ lingering beauty.
