Re: What did you harvest today (other plants)?
You guys still harvesting really make me jealous! Today I pulled my water lilies out of the pond. This is an exercise in idiocy, as the weather temp today was mid 40's, and water temp not much higher than that. Here I am bedecked in my red swimsuit, old sneakers and a t-shirt wading through the pond. If I tell you my voice went up an entire octave you'll get an idea how uncomfortable this was. I trimmed all the lilies to the potline, then put the hardy lilies back in the deep section of the pond....BRRRR. The tropicals are now in an aquarium in my rec room. Tomorrow I start on the marginal plants. The nanas are doing fine despite nights down to the mid 30's. The leaves are really ragged, though, from the high winds of our last rain storm a few days ago.
edit- are there any members out near Long Beach, CA? I'm going to be there for a wedding from 11/5 through 11/11, and if so I'd love to see some nanas! PM me.
