Things

I have been doing, and harvesting some things in the garden, but haven’t been good about documenting, partially because there weather is horrid, and partially because the world is worse.

We’re right smack dab in the middle of junuary (it’s 55 right now, and pouring) and there have been protests and police action for over a week, in addition to everything still being locked down for the pandemic.

So, it’s hard to get excited about some snap peas and garlic scapes.

Salads

Besides asparagus, the main thing we’ve been getting out of the garden is salad greens.

The corn salad and spinach are doing great, kale and chard are coming in, and I’ve been thinning out the onions and beet greens.

Yesterday i found a couple of tiny peas!

Made me so happy.

Clean up

Spent the afternoon cleaning up leaves and dead plants. P is working on the fence because we have a big planting project coming up in the upper yard.

He pulled the apple tree a little while back, because we realized we would never win the fight against pests.

The arugula and roots are going strong, the kale is hanging in there, and the asparagus still has green (I’m supposed to cut it back when it turns brown.)
