Garden Update
Beans are gone, I’ll pull them out soon. Fava are coming up and there are a few pea flowers ? little harvest of winter squash and carrots and tomatillos today. Planted garlic.
A little cleanup
We pulled out the tomato and some tomato plants to get ready for garlic planting.
Tomato Pulling
Was A Success. they ripened inside just fine
Tomatillo Salsa
Still going
We went away a couple of days which I thought was fine because “everything is done “
Not quite…
The remaining tomatoes are spotted, so they areare definitely done. The runner beans were not drying on the vine, so I pulled them and will dry and shell inside.
More salsa
Today’s harvest
Ground cover and harvest
I bought a few ground covers to try out on the slope- mostly thymes.
I also seeded a bunch of clover and fescue in the bare spots.
A chill…
Whelp, it’s getting down below 50 tonight, so I pulled all the good sized tomatoes and peppers. They’re going in ripening boxes in my office for the time being.
This was an awesome tomato year. I had more slicing tomatoes than ever, tons of sungold from my sungold tree, and a metric ton of novas. The beaver lodge got sad looking, and did best in a container, but I liked that it ripened earliest. (Maybe just one in a a big pot next year?)
The peppers did relatively well- but they stayed small and didn’t redden.
