#ClimateResilient #Gardening: How to Adapt Your Garden to #ExtremeWeather

ECO gardener, Nov 14, 2024

Excerpt: "Gardening in Extreme Weather

Gardening in extreme weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect plants and maintain a healthy garden:

Choose Weather-Resistant Plants
Opt for #DroughtTolerant, heat-resistant plants in hot climates (like succulents or lavender) and hardy, cold-resistant species in colder climates (like kale or coneflowers).

Use #Mulch to Retain Moisture and Insulate
Applying a thick layer of organic mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture, making it essential in both hot and cold conditions.

Install #ShadeCloth or Row Covers
In intense heat, a shade cloth can protect plants from direct sun, while row covers offer frost protection during cold spells.

Water Smartly
For hot weather, water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and avoid wetting foliage. In winter, water during the day when temperatures are above freezing to help roots absorb moisture before the ground freezes.

Consider #RaisedBeds
Raised beds help with drainage in #WetClimates and can warm up faster in colder weather, giving plants a more stable growing environment.

Wind Protection Strategies
Use windbreaks like shrubs, fencing, or netting to shield plants from damaging winds that can dry out or freeze foliage.

Invest in Hardy #ContainerGardens
For extreme weather, container gardens are versatile—easily moved to sunny spots, shady areas, or even indoors as needed. [I do this with tomatoes and other plants]

Optimize Soil Health
Healthy, well-drained soil holds moisture better in heat and protects roots from frost damage in winter. Regularly add compost to enrich soil.

Use #ColdFrames or #Greenhouses
These structures create a controlled environment, extending the growing season and protecting plants from temperature extremes.

Keep an Eye on Weather Patterns
Staying informed about sudden temperature changes can help you take timely action, like covering plants or adjusting watering schedules.

With these tips, you can create a resilient garden that adapts to extreme weather challenges while keeping your plants thriving."

Here are some different recipes for #PeatFree #PottingSoil blends -- depending on what one needs it for (#SeedStarting, #RaisedBeds, #PottedPlants, etc). The recipes also call for the use of #mycorrhizae to simulate root production. My cannabis farmer friends use that in their soil blends!

How to Make Peat-Free #PottingMix

Easy #DIY Potting Mixes for Potted Plants and Mo

"Going peat-free is one of the most impactful things we can do as gardeners to be better stewards of the earth and our resources. The lack of peat-free potting mixes at the garden center can be discouraging, but I see it as an opportunity to make my own which, frankly, has yielded far better results over the last few years. With a few basic components kept at hand, you can make great mixes for your plants, too!"

Bush squash update.

The butternut is within the raised bed still. The acorn 'bush' is about 15-20 feet beyond the raised bed in two directions.

The pepper beds and a closeup of the 🍆 that is getting bigger 👀

Some 'early' morning photos of the garden getting some sun from the East, and a photo showing the summer squash plants that are more than 3 feet tall now not counting the raised bed, and a 'bush' acorn squash that has lots of vines going in all directions.

Melon update. I've seen the bees working the blossoms a little bit, or one bee. The hexagon bed is slowly filling up with vines. There are some little baby watermelon but the first ones usually aren't pollinated. Another raised bed has appeared...

The watermelon and honeydew melon bed. The youngest watermelon seedling was thinned to one, the older plants are vining fast, and the center planter with marigolds, fireweed (I think), and a tomato plant is looking good.

Peas, no peas.

The cucumber bed with more of not-cucumbers in it. Harvested some beets this morning, pulled the pea vines that were done enough, and removed the plastic mesh. There are 4 cucumber plants from saved seeds, and 2 small cantaloupe type melons from saved seeds in the bed besides the beets, marigolds, petunias, mystery plants I haven't pulled...

I finally got around to planting carrots in a pot. Nantes Half Long.The bottom soil is pretty dry so it's soaking in a tub overnight. I picked up the potted marigolds that were spread about the garden, I have 10 feet of them, or 22 plus 1 tomato volunteer and 1 clump of oregano. The two squash beds are ready for planting with most of the lumpy goose manure having soaked up the water and softened.

The 14 by 4 ft., 4.3m by 1.2m, raised bed is full and covered with soil. A one foot sub surface layer of large wood covered with small wood, leaves, chicken compost, and layered with the dug dirt a couple of times with more leaves, and extra dirt mounded up in the middle, and it all topped up with 30 years of soil building under a red-osier dogwood that was removed with fire a few years ago before it spread further.
