i spent too much time setting this up. we’re supposed to get a week of storms starting tomorrow night, but in la that doesn’t really mean anything. as soon as the sprinkles start, it’s STORMWATCH 2009 and all the anchors are out on the street in fishermans’ raincoats. it might get maybe 2 inches over a week. (everybody who doesn’t live in california can stop laughing thank you) it doesn’t sound like we’re supposed to get wind, but i’m going to go check on the nets if we get any breaks in the rain before next weekend. in the back you can see i kind of made a tent over the sprouts that are up, and in front i just sort of stretched it really tight. i think i need to go back tomorrow with some sort of mallet to hammer in the stakes a little more.

the peas have definitely been pecked at, so i think this will give at least the ones towards the middle a break. i don’t see anything from any of the carrot seeds i planted, and it’s been almost 3 weeks. the radishes are all thriving, so at least i’m doing something right there. my lettuce is slowly coming up, and maybe around christmas i’ll be making salads. that would be pretty awesome.
