The frost is on the pumpkin

Well...we don't have any pumpkins, but it did frost last night, just a little. The good news is that it's supposed to be 68 degrees today, at least at sea level in town. We're at 1,700 feet and sometimes it's actually warmer up here because we're above the marine layer. This time of year, though, it's probably several degrees cooler.

We found MORE great compost, at a reasonable price on Craigslist. Here's half, about 5 yards, the rest will arrive next week. Leilani's truck wouldn't make it up the hill with a full load - it's pretty steep.


Turns out Leilani was a good find. She's an expert on gardening in general, greenhouse gardening in particular, and she is a regular speaker at Sunset's Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle and at garden clubs, etc., etc. We may need her advice, as well as more of her compost, later.

Speaking of advice, thanks to regular reader Becki, a renowned expert in agricultural products and methodologies, for telling me where and how and why to get some of that rooting hormone stuff.
