It was 49F / 9.4C low last night near the garden and forecast to be the same or warmer tonight so I set a couple of trays of tomatoes out to make some room indoors. They're setting in the newest raised bed that I just filled up with dirt from a hole I'm digging and some chicken compost. The bed will probably get 2 eggplants, maybe a tomatillo, and some basil. I'm only planting 10 of these tomato plants.

I plucked and potted the last of the tomatoes and some cabbages tonight. All the tomatoes were ones that will just be extras but this will let me choose the best looking plants. Most of them could be put in bigger pots so that will probably happen soon. I also got a couple of eggplants to sprout.

Today's harvest from the garden, minus any zucchini because I didn't spend much time looking. Picked the largest eggplants and a ones that were on a dying stalk, 2 cucumbers, 2 yellow crooknecks, and 580 grams / 20 ounces of runner beans.

During the strong #sunshine we #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork found a smart #ecoFriendly way to keep water in our crops by using dried materials cut from our #banana plantations to cover the soil around our #eggplants this simple #climateSmart method helps the soil stay cool and moist even in dry weather and protects our food from drying out it's how we fight #hiddenHunger through #sustainableFarming and local innovation we never give up because #youthInAg can #stopHunger and build a resilient future.

Peppers, eggplants, basil cuttings, and potted marigolds that haven't been replanted yet.
I'm actually really impressed how good the peppers are growing this year. Even the pathetic looking Jalapenos grew out of their root bound funk and look pretty good.
I put some of the basil cuttings I didn't pot up directly in the soil and that seems to be working ok so far.

Innovative Project Is Growing Crops Beneath #SolarPanels in #Kenya
"...By combining the land dedicated to solar panels with the land dedicated to agriculture, it is possible to avoid some of these pitfalls. Growing plants beneath elevated solar panels protects them from the sun in hot, dry places and helps the soil retain moisture, the University of Sheffield explained. The strategy has worked successfully in Global North countries like France, Germany and the U.S., but has not been tested in the Global South, according to SEI and The Guardian.So far, the results have been promising, The Guardian reported.
In Kajiado, #cabbages cultivated under 180, 345-watt solar panels were a third larger and healthier than the control group. #Eggplants, #lettuce and #corn also fared better in the panels’ shade."
