November Gardening

The "official word" from the University of Arizona College Agriculture and Life Sciences - November.

As with last month, I'm going to bold the things I'm planting. Everything will be planted from seed.

And now I need to get out to my garden and get things started. The new bed is ready, since the gophers have taken over my garden we are trying a new technique which involves a pallet with the bottom lined with wire to hopefully keep the gophers out. I need to put the watering system together, and then I'll be able to plant the seeds.

Here's the current temp:

Until next time.
