Harvest – Page 2 – Chalet Lang

Garlic and onion day

Got a nice little hall of veggies.

And cleaned up the garlic and onions. Braided the soft necks.

Today was ok

First Roma! First couple of beaver lodge (yum!)

Planted favas in south D.

Got some squash, Romano beans, remaining peas, thinned carrots, asparagus, rhubarb, berries, and a few more sungolds. I planted more beets and carrots in the bed with the old favas. I also planted some more peas on the back side of the pea bed, and the remaining sweet Loraines as a ground cover in the onion bed (I ordered another variety of fava for next year.) I also replanted herbs in pots, fertilized. thanks and put mesclun mix in the empty spinach and corn salad pots. i cut back the lavender and artichokes that were blocking the rock steps. I’m tired.

I’ll prolly start having other tomatoes (plum and Roma) in the next week. Yay!

Finally cooler

It’s been too hot lately- we had a week over 90- and I’ve been hiding out from the sun. Some plants are very happy though.

I cut the favas and pulled the beans. I think I want to try a different variety and next year, though.

I also pulled the rest of the garlic to cure.

It was the first good sized harvest- with Romano beans, patty pan, zucchini, yellow squash, plump blueberries, thornless blackberries, and thinned out carrots. And some nice sized artichokes.

The flowers are pretty too

Also- I planted the last straggler pepper into a bag, and moved one of the lavender stems I’m trying to propagate into a little pot.

Favas

I obviously did not pay enough attention, and it looks like a lot of my favas started drying. That’s great, but since I had so much spoilage last year I assumed that the black pods were diseased and cut down the plants that had them. Fortunately I caught myself and consulted the trusty internet. I’m going to peel what I pulled and see what I got.

I pulled some more garlic today. The “silver and white” variety is smallish, and the size of the music is all over the place- but they look healthy. It’s very warm outside so I hope they (and your onions) cure in the shade spot I built for them.
