It's What's Up Wednesday!

Do you remember in the spring, when I was saying we were having too much rain? The flooding made it impossible to get anything in the ground before it drowned. I said that I knew there would come a point in the summer when I wished we could have this rain again. (A reminder to myself to be patient.) 

It’s here. 

The grass is parched, and I’m thankful for the watering system I installed on my raised beds, along with the thick layer of mulch, which allows my vegetables to keep growing. I’m already thinking about soil amendments I’m going to add at the end of the season to enrich my raised bed soil. 

Unfortunately, if you aren’t taking care of it, the soil in your raised beds will peter out, and lead to all sorts of problems. 

Here are some tell-tale signs that your raised bed soil is in need of some serious attention, and what to do about it. And a quick article on why it’s important not to put tomatoes in the fridge. Happy Wednesday, friends. I hope the weather is fine in your neck of the woods.
