Tropical storm Erin is bringing us rain today, and cooler temperatures. I know many folks in the area are not glad to see the rain, but it was getting a bit dry here so I am happy to be getting a mid-August storm.
I finally got some fall crops started in seed trays yesterday. Some of these plants will be put out in the garden, and others will be grown in the greenhouse over the winter. The first crops started include Celebrity and Big Beef Tomatoes, Broadstem Chard, Butternut Squash, Zucchini Squash, Habanero, Jalapeno, Mexibell, and Annaheim Peppers, and Packman Broccoli. More crops will be planted in the coming days now that I have my seedstarting station in operation again.
The other news is that I have been working on the Lost Valley Gardens web site [1] appearance. I bought the Dreamweaver CS3 [2] tool to help speed up the process, and I have been really pleased with the results so far. I will be making many improvements to the style of the site, and adding alot of new content this fall. I will post about my progress as I go.
Time to get ready for fall gardening!
