Tiny squash starting. Good pea production. Green tomatoes. 3 ripe strawberries (in pot). Finally warm enough for the irrigation.
Category: Harvest
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!
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.
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
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.
Grape Jelly
Turning the grapes into jelly! The recipe called for 5 cups of juice (one packet of pectin, 6 cups of sugar, and 7 8oz jars), this basket was roughly 6 cups.
Grapes and tomatoes and potatoes and hops
Harvested and cut back grapes (incorrectly) today. I also cut some tomato batches to hang since the weather is starting to turn. We pulled the remaining potatoes – the big orange pot was the best provider. (It was the widest)
Also, p harvested some hops today.
