Thank you! Yeah they get full sun all day, and wind now, plus freezing fog this morning. I should have kept my damn mouth shut about the weather lol. I agree I can't cut down a live tree just for a minor convenience.
Kinda figured you were ragin' in the high UV all day long. And trees? That's a scarce commodity over there. So close...but such different environments.
I think we'll escape any heavy frost for a bit but we will be flirting with upper 30's by next week. Your temps don't look as kind. The weed should be AOK...it's the veggies that take the hit. Hopin to finish up the tomatoes...beets are done...green beans may have to get covered a few nights.
It's ALWAYS a dance here (and there) to try to ensure all of that time you put in all Summer pays off at the end. I USED TO worry about the pot but I've grown enough outdoor crops here by now to know it will take far more cold than just about anything else. Only lettuce and petunias do better.
Seein' lotsa plumpin'...but had a liddle hiccup in that I wasn't totally on top of my pH and the creek water changed/dropped from well over 8 to 7....and I didn't catch it for 2 feedings....so everyone got a bit overdosed on the pH low side (5'ish?) and as a result I'm seeing...of all things...what I believe to be a molybendum deficiency. It won't screw anything up too bad...but yeah...rookie mistake! Fuckin old people. I did a micro foliar feed and gave em water directly from the hose a few times to right/raise the pH. Thankfully we are pretty far along in the game so no real worries. Just some magenta hues on a few plants. Dumbass.
