Pulled the remaining onions today. The wallawallas were definitely the winner in size, even though many bolted. Also got a handful of raspberries and a few peas.

Ok harvest today
Got a couple of strawberries, a bunch of rhubarb, started pulling the onions for curing, more garlic scapes, thinned some carrots, 2 more sungold tomatoes, a bunch of snap peas…
The runner beans are starting to flower- the green beans are still going slow and look a little sun bleached. The favas have some burst pods and need more attention- may rethink for next year. also, there are a couple tomatillo pods forming.
First tomato!
First sungold. Also had a bunch more snap peas, some garlic scapes, and a couple of asparagus.
A little bit
Lots of garlic scapes, a few more bolted onions, a hand full of strawberries, some peas
I also fertilized and pulled weeds and thinned tomatoes. Tired.
This week
Tiny squash starting. Good pea production. Green tomatoes. 3 ripe strawberries (in pot). Finally warm enough for the irrigation.

Last week
It’s still been cold and gloomy. Beans are coming up, green sungolds are starting, snap peas are getting gobbled up. Hoping for sunshine and slightly higher temps this week. (Also, I planted basil starts and beet greens in the beds, and moved the mystery tomato next to the ground cherries.) oh and spruce tips finally came. Picked the tips off all the favas because aphids started showing up.
Things are starting to happen…
I got the first snap pea a couple of weeks ago, and a few more today. Some onions are bolting, beans are coming up, most of the seedlings are flourishing. Scapes are coming soon!
Planted peppers and tomatoes
Planted all the peppers and remaining tomatoes today.
Also moved out plum tomato and some okra bags.
Beans and flowers
Planted beans and nasturtium and marigold. I’ll pop probably put the remaining tomatoes and peppers out on Monday or Tuesday. Also transplanted little zucchini starts in the squash bed, and direct seeded a few delicata next to the starts that don’t look great. (Note for next year- don’t keep them in the greenhouse so long!) I put marigold in the fava bed to hopefully fight the black flies, and nasturtium in the bean beds. Also planted a few more peas (peas are FINALLY blossoming).
It’s been a dreary and cold spring. They say 10degrees cooler than normal. I think the kale and beets and carrots like it, though.
