From master gardener & photographer Marvel:
We’re winding down from a fairly mild Summer here in the Willamette Valley — middling highs, coolish nights — our cool-weather plants thrived, but the heat-loving veggies were pretty underwhelming.
This last week we had a few rainy days but sunny warm weather is again forecast for next week. The garden’s in transition. The Fall carrots have decided to put on some welcome, rapid growth; the little Japanese maple out front is rushing into its red finery and the crimson clover cover crop (in the former tomato bed) is sprouting to beat the band.

This last week we had a few rainy days but summy warm weather is again forecasted for next week. The garden’s in transition. The Fall carrots have decided to put on some welcome, rapid growth; the little Japanese maple out front is rushing into its red finery and the crimson clover cover crop (in the former tomato bed) is sprouting to beat the band.
We’ll be planting a bedful of garlic next week and otherwise just shuffling around, conserving energy for the big acorn & oak-leaf wrangling that’ll be sure to hit Big Time next month.
