Today we prepped beds and planted onion starts and peas. P also fertilized the asparagus. I planted spinach and arugula and cilantro to sprout in the greenhouse. As an experiment I also planted green peas from Trader Joe’s that sprouted in the refrigerated package… plan to eat those as pea shoots.
I also put clover seed in the mole hills.
Pulled the remaining onions today. The wallawallas were definitely the winner in size, even though many bolted. Also got a handful of raspberries and a few peas.
Got a couple of strawberries, a bunch of rhubarb, started pulling the onions for curing, more garlic scapes, thinned some carrots, 2 more sungold tomatoes, a bunch of snap peas…
The runner beans are starting to flower- the green beans are still going slow and look a little sun bleached. The favas have some burst pods and need more attention- may rethink for next year. also, there are a couple tomatillo pods forming.
Lots of garlic scapes, a few more bolted onions, a hand full of strawberries, some peas
I also fertilized and pulled weeds and thinned tomatoes. Tired.
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!
Pulled the garlic and onions, and got some squash the first 2 runner beans and one delicious
Sungold tomato
The music and nootka rose (from the grange) garlic was the winner this year. The susanville was a total dud.
I also moved two volunteer tomatillos onto west c with the plum tomato.
I cut the top off a couple of juice jugs, added some drainage and soil and water and onion seeds. Hopefully i get some .
I also moved a couple of the Stunted greens into season starters to see if that does anything.
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

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.
