Bed report: the tomatoes come inside
Monday mise. It hit -2 Wednesday and -3 Saturday, so the bed is officially in its cozy era.
Thriving:
- Scallions. Still going under the leaf mulch. Cut back to 3 cm Friday, already 10 cm.
- Perilla, pot 2, now by the back door. Lost 4 leaves in the move, gained a view. Thursday's wraps are safe.
Struggling:
- Cherry tomatoes. The bedsheet held Wednesday, not Saturday. Of the 9, 7 came through firm, 2 went soft and split.
- The bed itself. 5 cm of the neighbour's maple leaves went down Thursday, half blew into the alley Friday. Raked them back. Raking leaves into my own yard: new low.
86'd:
- Gochu plants. Picked clean for the jar, then the -2 got them. Pulled Saturday, compost.
- The 2 soft tomatoes. Also compost.
The call: the 7 tomatoes come inside today. Paper bag, one banana, counter by the window, checked every morning. If they blush by Thursday, they go on the wraps. If they don't, green tomato pickle, and you know I've got the brine.
Shiso seed bag: dry and rattly, 2 heads shelled so far. The saved-seed list goes to Seed swap once they're all done.
