Garden 2026


 Hubby walked out to get the mail , actually I think he was skating in boots to get the mail. 

Next month I will be pruning berry bushes and asparagus. Hubby will top off the garden beds with raised garden bed soil and I will add fertilizer. I will also start seeds from the cabbage family in the grow cart first part of Feb.

I went through my seeds, didn't realize how low I was in cool weather crops.I think I didn't acknowledge I plant those twice some times three times during the season.

I know I did 3 rounds of January King cabbage, maybe 4 as I think the second round got ate in the gardens. Couple years ago we still had it in the gardens in late Feb.

Still a bit sticker shock with searching for the best price and amount.  When it comes in I will put the date on it  and where I ordered it from. I did order more bok choy and lettuces that I haven't grown that some of the Amish are now growing. 

I don't see me running electric to a grow cart through the winter to grow greens in like our doctor does but maybe a covered area during cool weather???

I won't be growing any winter squash EXCEPT maybe butternut if we need it for ravoili .... might just go buy a couple LOL. I did get a recipe to try for winter squash bread. Makes 2-3 loaves but I will try it. We can always eat it as French toast or bread pudding if we don't like it for regular bread. 

Blessed Be

  2. I need to figure out why our solar production is down so much year on year. When we had the system put in, it would more than cover our full cost. We are now in quite a deficit. While the cost of power has continued to rise, there is likely also some sort of problem causing our panels either not to be producing and/or sending the power back to the grid. We need to investigate, so that's on my list for the next week or so. - Hawaii Planner

  3. We were told connectors can wear out in about 5 yrs .Ours is hooked to our solar pump directly and requires batteries, that we just had to replace after 5 yrs.
