Summer Can Go Away Now…

August 18, 2013 by Tiffany Davis Leave a Comment

dryheatSeriously…I’m so over the summer already.  Unfortunately, here in Phoenix, the Fall weather will hit around Winter.  Sadly, that is not really a joke. 🙁

Sorry I missed the Saturday Garden Report…not much to report.  The green pepper are getting some leaves back but my 2 itty bitty watermelons rotted out…sad.

I am preparing my next garden box for Fall planting but I am not as far along as I hoped I would be.

I filled 2 boxes at the beginning of summer with some soil mix from a local quarry.  I might as well have planted into solid clay.  So these 2 boxes have been sitting all summer…

I shoveled out the dirt and put it on a tarp.  I figured I could mix it in with something and create a better element for growing veggies.

Then I started adding compost, garden soil and a bit of the old dirt in the box.  I spent a long time hand mixing it…

Tomorrow I will add grids back to the box and start planting.  I hope to have everything completed this weekend.

Just in case you missed it, this is the plan for this 4×4 box.
