We’re getting a couple more sunny days and most things have perked up a bit. I’m letting a lot of the runners go to bean.

A bit more
Also the kale and peas are starting to come up?
Slowing harvest
Tomatoes aren’t slowing down
But everything else is
but do have some blossom and rot on the tomatoes at the base of the rocks. And the plum tomatoes look mineral starved despite fertilizing.
Here are some shots
And my pretty new dahlia that I got surprise gifted while picking up a spider plant on but nothing
Updates Planting Plan
Hopefully I’ll have at least one extra bed next year, since we’re planning to tear out the two “Upper” beds. It would be nice to get down to an even 3 beds per type to make rotation easier… but the hummingbirds like the scarlet runners so!
More Undilly Beans
Pretty much a full drawer for 5.33 jars. Perfecto.
Planting fall
Planted and harvested a bunch. Made pasta salad, roasted carrots, and carrot top pesto (garlic, lime juice, cilantro, garbanzo)
Planted more carrots. Btw the musico carrots were the clear winner this year. Purple snap did nothing (well, I got one.)
Planted fava, kale (micro kale hopefully works ok), chard in South C
Planted peas, and kale in West E (fava bed)
Planted arugula, spinach, mache in plant bags. Fertilized most of everything.
Salsa day
We made tomatillo and zesty salsa today.
Aug 21 harvest
