Community Garden update

Today at the community garden, I harvested the last of the summer tomatoes before ripping out the vines.  The kale is still going.  I harvested some BIG broccoli and broccoli leaves for sauteing.  Then I added 2 bags of chicken manure and one of steer manure and turned it into the soil.  I planted carrot seeds in a small area.  The rest is ready for planting soon, when I get to it. I think I need some beets going in soon.

Fertilized Citrus and Lawn

At home the rains have stopped for now, so I took the opportunity to use citrus fertilizer on the valencia, peach, pomegranate and apple trees.  I also fertilized the back lawn.  I've been using worm tea regularly on the bougainvillea and pomegranate as well.  The worm castings I used months ago in a potted plant on the front porch seems to have halted the white fly.
