So, after getting the bad news about my neck, I spent a few days in bed, depression-playing Stardew Valley. Eventually I managed to get up and get to my real-life garden, which was sad-looking and neglected. I was very overdue for cleaning it up, weeding, clearing out the dead plants and covering it with mulch for the winter. I also went to plant some onions and garlic, I did plant a few broccoli earlier but it was immediately all eaten by slugs.

My highest priority was strawberries; they're the first thing I look forward to in the spring, and they've been overtaken by weeds and other big plants, overshadowed, and were generally looking very sad. I started clearing that stuff up, and immediately realized that I need a bucket to put slugs in, because they were so filled with slugs, and I mean, there were millions. Under every plant there was several families, they were hiding in the soil, laying eggs, hatching, it was a whole country in my strawberry bed.

It reminded me of the spring when I planted strawberries and beans together, and all of the beans ended up getting eaten by slugs. Also there were no slugs on other parts of the garden, where there were no strawberries. And now, clearing out the strawberry area, again, thousands of slugs.

This made me come to the conclusion that slugs,... love strawberries, and will multiply insanely on any area that I grow strawberries in. But, I love strawberries, and I allow them to grow on 70% of my garden, they're so small I can let them grow around everything else. Coincidentally, everything I planted in that garden for the last 5 months was immediately devoured by slugs. So this brings us... to a painful dilemma.

My garden used to not have a slug problem, in fact, last 3 years there were barely any slugs. And whenever there was a few, I could simply pick them out before they did any damage. The situation now is that slugs are here to stay, and they're staying in my strawberries, which I love. But, they are now going to eat the rest of my garden, repeatedly, before it even grows, unless... I take out strawberries.

I was trying to make this decision and I cannot do it, taking out strawberries is unmanageable, every spring I spend months just looking forward to strawberries and they're the center of my life. But.. I also need other food to grow at my garden. I can't just let slugs overtake everything forever, and having taken out 3 buckets, and my garden still getting eaten up, I know I can't keep fighting this.

So, what would you do?

Roots

I've been putting off digging the carrots (because the beans and the tomatoes are visible, so they've been monopolizing my attention). This morning's pleasantly cool temps, however, motivated me to get my butt out in the garden and grab a shovel. Also a hoe, because in the last month the garden has gone from almost-weed-free to knee-deep-in-weeds. How - does that happen? so quickly?

Anyhow. I hoed two raised beds, got fatigued depressingly quickly, then grabbed the shovel. I dug potatoes, just enough for a meal or two, then three sections of carrots. We plant in raised beds about 8x4 feet, I had two beds of carrots and two single rows of them that I shoved in beside other veg. The carrot harvest was DISAPPOINTING. The "red Samuri" seed hardly produced anything. About a handful, I am not kidding, for the whole bed, 32 linear feet of carrots. Also, one of them decided to make the leap from biennial to annual, and put up a flower. Carrot flowers, you may already be aware, look exactly like queen anne's lace. The orange carrots did better, but certainly not record-breaking.

At that point, I realized my son was overdue for getting up for school. He generally gets up with his alarm, but . . I ran back inside and rousted him. Back in the garden I finished up with carrots, put the shovel away, thought about the date for a minute (it's mid-September - shouldn't the sweet potatoes be ready?) and grabbed the shovel again.

Digging sweet potatoes is a chore in that the vines are so ridiculously abundant and it can be hard to remember exactly where I planted the roots. I eventually found the source of the vines and started digging a good 15 inches (37 cm?) away so I didn't chop any of them in half. A few minutes of digging revealed two large and 2-3 small ones, dark purple. I planted purple and orange this year.

I sprayed the whole basketful vigorously with the hose, then set them on the porch to drain. Maybe I should dig the beets, too? Hmm. These garden hods are worth their weight in gold; I love them. I wish I could dig clams some day!

I don't know if the carrot issue was with the variety or the company that sold them - anybody have any recs for reliable red or purple carrots?

Well. Many joyful and tasty roots. Happy fall, y'all!

Even at the start of November in the UK, here is a bee harvesting pollen from a Centaurea flower. I am quietly proud of my contribution to the bees through my garden. Bees are both globally and in the UK under threat. If you want to help too, my advice, just grow some flowers. Don’t worry too much which. Just flowers.

Here's an interesting article about changes in U.S. gardening zones due to climate change. Our hot,long summer this year in Arizona wasn't great for garden plants, but today, Nov. 20, my tomatoes are doing pretty good!
