kale – Page 2 – Chalet Lang

Today

Lots of tomatillos, and the swuash are back

Transplanted some kale and chard

Yay Food

Pulled up the first few onions (the driest) and have them curing in baskets

Same with some of the garlic

The varieties in West E are MASSIVE. All of the things I’ve pulled look healthy (:

Got the first few yellow beans, and a couple of sun gold

Still thinning out the carrots and beets

A couple of baby onions and leeks are coming up in the seeded bed.

Raspberries! (There are blueberries at the neighbor’s)

Arugula is reseeded

Tiny baby scarlet runners

Green bean flowers

More pretties

Upcoming yellow beans

Still getting a few peas, and finding some I missed

Did a bunch of cooking. Raspberry coulis, sauted garbanzo peas zucchini and greens, carrot tops (boiling water 3 minutes) garlic garbanzo cilantro lemon juice hummus, roasted carrots patty pan beets onions, fresh bread… yum.

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.)

Peas and scapes and one strawberry

We’ve still been getting lots of greens- a and the peas are starting to pick up a lot. The onion and garlic are looking great, and finally getting some squash

Gonna hurt tomorrow

Tore up the lower beds and added in some compost. Hopefully i can get even more squash out of it this year.

All the buckets are sprouting!

(Corn salad, kale, spinach)

P picked the first asparaguses (asparagi?) to grill tonight.

Transplanted some more stuff

Still stuff out there

Picked kale, arugula, and tiny beets today.

Weeding and feeding

It rained last night, and its nice and cool/gloomy today so we got some work done. Weeded a lot, and I put some vegetable food on the tomatoes and peppers.

0@..?

Got more tomatoes, pulled most of the onions, more beans of course. ? one tiny okra

Garlic, rhubarb, and heat.

It’s been a nice cool summer somehow, and we’ve all been happy about it… But today that changes!

I pulled all the garlic to cure. There’s a bunch. The metechi in the south bed seemed a little stunted. I think in general the Deerfield purple gave larger heads.

We also stripped down all the rhubarb, and picked raspberries at a friend’s- for brewing experiments.

Things look good. Good eating. Yellow beans are yellowing, green beans are getting ready to bear, and scarlet runners have given a few. I’ve been pulling squashes while they are small. I’ve got a couple of beds languishing now- I wonder if there is anything I can plant…
