square foot gardening, post vacation return to work, c25k

SQUARE FOOT GARDENING CONTINUED
have continued and completed my square foot garden for my 
fall garden     will add more things later 














this is from a previous blog       this shows the 4 x 12 ft square garden 
overseeded with black eyed peas    
is used as a cover crop    helps fix nitrogen into the soil












this is from a previous blog     the peas have been removed     have added
a layer of compost and organic fertilizer     will add molasses later
this is worked into the soil












have added drip irrigation tubing 1 foot apart with drippers every 6 inches
on each tubing line 
this is all connected to my rainwater tanks 












using concrete wire with 1 foot squares 
planted the cole crops-broccoli  cabbage  kale  brussel sprouts
and caulflower-  lettuces  mustard greens and swiss chard each into 
a square foot 
will add more lettuce spinach cabbages radishes beets later by 
broadcasting the seeds over the end of the bed












placed 18 inch rebar every 3 feet on both sides of the garden bed
then took 1/2 inch pvc pipe(had several left over from old project)
slipped the pvc over the rebar then bend it over to the other side 
then slipped it into the rebar 
this will be used to hold a light weight row cover












this shows the light weight row cover over the pvc pipes
this acts as a protection from the grass hoppers the heat and  
the different caterpillars that come by this time of the year
and later as protection from the cold











this shows how you can open up the side of the row cover hoop to 
water or plant or pick veggies 
will leave this on most if not all of the winter 
if have a cold winter will add or substiute a thicker row cover

more pictures as things grow

POST VACATION RETURN TO WORK
have been off work now for 5 days 
dread going back as the paper work will 
be stacked in my shelves    on my desk    on the floor
will take me several days to catch up 

advice --try not to see your doctor when he/she is coming 
back off a vacation

C25K UPDATE
my c25k niece just finished her day 1 week 4 of her couch to 5k
race prep
gogogogogogogo

advice-at race time dont get caught up with the greyhounds just
go at your own pace   ignore all the old men and old ladies and kids
that pass you even though some are just walking
am speaking from personal experience
