Got berries

More strawberries today

And a few blueberries, raspberries, peas, squash, bolting onions

The squash plants got HUGE overnight

And the arugula straw is reseeding

There are a few green tomatoes coming in, carrots are little, beets are getting there.

To split

I need to remember to split some perennials this fall/spring, specifically these guys- artichoke, daisies, and lilies.

Today’s haul

It’s gloomy today, but we had a few warm days, so things are reacting.

Pea haul is light today.

Strawberries are crazy! (Almost 2 pints today.)

Corn salad and spinach are bolting. Boo

Little squash still, but delicata are running.

Tomatillo’s have pretty little lantern packets, first green fruit on tomatoes.

Green blueberries.

About a quarter of the onions were bolting, so i pulled them to dry. (In picture)

Also grabbed some rhubarb and garlic scapes (along with the onion scapes).

And the first little artichokes (I love this variety, the heads are small, but there’s more meat on them and they don’t get buggy.)

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.

More planting

Put out tomato cages and planted some squash from seed between the starts, more okra seeds in the okra bed.

Planted the runner beans

Some borage below the plum tree (and a couple of alyssum seeds). And threw some lupine seeds under the purple rhododendron.

Picked picked another big batch of rhubarb for making wine. (“3 lbs 9.5oz”). He’s already made an upside down cake.

Things are looking good. It’s going to be 80+ today again so i watered everything.

And more asparagus
