This was ~6 wide mouth pint jars. It roughly filled a strainer before being trimmed down.
One of the jars of runner beans got double salt (whoops). It has some small yellow pieces on top to mark it.

Today’s harvest
Just kidding, it was actually this
We finally got rain yesterday after more than a month of dry. Everybody seems happier.
Another good harvest
Greeennn beansssss
First good harvest of beans. ♥️
Bigger harvest
Tomatoes! Not a million, but some! Zucchini, Roma and wax beans, 2nd rhubarb flush (I’ll be making rhubarb orange zucchini bread later). The water has been at 1 hour but things look a little dry so I turned up to 1:30.
Put some tomatoes out
Planted 2 tomatillos and a nova and sungold that were getting too big for the greenhouse.
Removed the season starters from the squash (that said “transplant after threat of frost has passed”)
Replanted some green beans cause birds are bastards.
Potatoes and more
Earlier this week I upplanted most of the seedlings- today I finished putting everything into the greenhouses.
I got more runner beans, and put them in the soil, along with some new Romano bush beans.
We got a bunch of yukon gold seed potatoes from ourneighbor, so those went into containers today as well.
Things are looking pretty good. We’ve had some rain and cool which the new plants have liked. The favas are up to the top on the gate now, and I think the carrots and beets are finally coming up.
Oh Deer
So, I knew we were taking a risk clearing out some of the blackberry without putting up a fence between the garden and the field- and after the field got mowed right up to our property a furry friend starting grazing- specifically on the yellow beans, green beans, and raspberry– although now he’s moved on to the beets and carrot tops. Les sigh.
He has lots of options though, so P put in poles to make the beans grow higher.
Todays haul wasn’t half bad.
Pulling garlic and onions
Got a pretty good haul of onions and garlic today. That’s prolly about half- the other half is still in the ground. GOOD year for this stuff! Many onions bolted, but the remaining ones are big and beautiful
The garlic in the west bed was best- the middle variety in the south bed was good too- I’m a little disappointed with the ones on the sides (I’ll edit to add variety names)
Also got a couple of dinky novas, raspberries, garlic scapes, and some squash
Oh, and yellow beans!
Looks like something (deer?) helped itself to some green bean and raspberry leaves
Oh, and a couple of tomatillo and one
Tiny
Pepper
I think I missed a day
Green Beans out our ears. I finally pulled the last of the start onions and garlic, braids coming soon. Still got some berries- and more tomatoes and tomatillos. And carrots and beets
I’m loving the carrot top “pestos” with onions, garlic, whatever green herb (basil, cilantro, oregano) and an acid (red wine vinegar, citrus). P put it on pizzas tonight.
