Garlic, rhubarb, and heat.
It’s been a nice cool summer somehow, and we’ve all been happy about it… But today that changes!
I pulled all the garlic to cure. There’s a bunch. The metechi in the south bed seemed a little stunted. I think in general the Deerfield purple gave larger heads.
We also stripped down all the rhubarb, and picked raspberries at a friend’s- for brewing experiments.
Things look good. Good eating. Yellow beans are yellowing, green beans are getting ready to bear, and scarlet runners have given a few. I’ve been pulling squashes while they are small. I’ve got a couple of beds languishing now- I wonder if there is anything I can plant…
I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to turnips as well as radishes. *sigh*
Gone for a couple of days…
And things happened!
Garlic is starting to look sad, so I pulled about half.
Food! First cherry tomatoes, yellow beans, runner beans. Raspberries!
Yep!
Last 2 days.
It might be happening…
There’s still a lot of rain happening. It’s balmy as heck but..
Weeding and some harvest
these photos are from a few days. We’ve eaten a bunch of kale, a few squash and artichoke, some peas. We will need to split daisies and probably the cat mint this year. It’s out of control. I put flash tape out to discourage the robins from stealing all the berries. ? hopefully it helps. Tomatoes are green, beans are flowering, peppers are starting… Okra is failing. It’s been kinda rainy and cool, which I’m actually kind of thankful for. Onions and garlic will probably need harvesting in the next couple of weeks.ys.
