It's so tough I'm sure it'll work.<br /><br />kitsapFG, my bacon is saved by garden serendipity again!<br /><br />Julie, in my experience, all gardens and farms, if not run by some scary cultlike entity, tend toward mass entropy. At least there are no vehicles up on blocks, and no bloodhounds (not that there is anything wrong with bloodhounds. . .)<br /><br />Fingers crossed for your lettuce. Hard-crossed.<br /><br />Ottawa Gardener, I am firmly in the "Kale wins!" corner of the vegetable world, feel free to proclaim your joining with me there. "Next year" is sometimes my only saving grace.

Many...It's interesting what neglect teaches us. Many of my earwig destroyed broccoli and other brassicas are making a startling recovery too. I generally get kale volunteers - thank you kale - as it's hard to have enough in my opinion. I didn't do a fall garden this year either because of misc calamities and life in general. Next year! In fact, next year I plan on having a polytunnel again: woohoo!Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-64571284822300627542012-09-20T07:54:40.939-07:002012-09-20T07:54:40.939-07:00How much do I love your "redneck" commen...How much do I love your "redneck" comment?! Whenever I go out by the big greenhouse, I have a momentary cringe of redneck-ism. It's just not a tidy as I imagine it should be, but that would require me to actually DO something about it. One of these days...<br /><br />Hooray for volunteers! I, too, would also try to move the kale babies. I'm hoping some of my seeds are sprouting in the big kitchen garden. I planted 12 varieties of lettuce on Sunday, carefully thinking about color schemes and spacing...and then we had two days of torrential rain. I'm sure all of the seeds have washed to the corner of the bed, where they will morph into one oddly colored giant lettuce. Sigh. I'm actually procrastinating, afraid to go check on the garden--isn't that sad? ;-)<br /><br />And yes...I also need to turn the compost. I also need bigger biceps to turn the compost--it's heavy! <br /><br />Happy gardening to you!!!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643317297830165273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-47884841856561270972012-09-20T04:38:43.053-07:002012-09-20T04:38:43.053-07:00Hurrah that you have all those volunteers to pick ...Hurrah that you have all those volunteers to pick up where you missed specifically planting fall crops! I would probably relocate the volunteer kale - they are pretty good plants for relocation if caught young. kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018402196949735412.post-71252276571141168612012-09-19T11:56:03.631-07:002012-09-19T11:56:03.631-07:00I'd probably move the baby kale to its designa...I'd probably move the baby kale to its designated spot. I've did that with lettuce volunteers this spring. I've also done it with flower volunteers that come up in the middle of a bed.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.com
