peppers – Page 7 – Chalet Lang

First day back in the garden

This was my first day harvesting since my surgery a week ago. (Might have overdone it… /:)

Lots of lovely nova tomatoes and peppers. Def doing those from seed again next year. We are now talking about our canning options, because… The kitchen is already full of ripe guys.

Also got a bunch of green and yellow beans. I went through and cleaned up the plants a bunch, pulling excess leaves off.

We’ve had some okra and peas.

This was the second-chance plant, and it has given us much

Everything else is a little overgrown, because I’ve not been able to harvest or eat much. I wish wish wish we had a larger freezer for this stuff.

Gonna need a bigger bowl

I sent p out to the garden today because I’ve been laid up after surgery- good thing, the harvest was over my lifting limit.

Spread out

And we still have veggies in the fridge and these things on the counter

Yay!!!

Yesterday we had a visitor.

Maters and peps

It’s been raining, so I went out and thinned the tomato plants and pulled all the peppers off the ground.

Don’t worry, there are plenty left!

i also got some green beans and squash.

Washing the smoke out

It’s been hot and very smoky here, but this morning we had a little rain and the air is almost breathable. The garden is looking a-ok

Got a good amount of food out today.

Cooked up a yummy low-fat lunch to starve my gallbladder.

Dude, I love arugula.

That was a few days ago at 4:30. So much smoke that the sun turned red

I fertilized the tomatoes, squash, and blueberries a couple of days ago.

breakfast

I’m still mostly couch bound due to an unfortunate reaction to a vaccine, but p pulled this batch from the garden.

Planting roots and sprouts and arugula

Today I did some fall planting- Brussels sprouts, leeks, green onions in South C (soil well fluffed with amendment), cover crop on South D…

Peas, beets, and carrots in West E.

Arugula and leeks in upper A.

I made up a bowl of future-salad. I also planted some basil seeds with my plant (and spilled dirt on the floor!) and replanted some cat grass for the kitties.

I cooked up a big stir fry up work on this week (Garden: yellow squash, zucchini, garlic, hot peppers from the freezer, beets, beet greens, chard, kale. + beans) This is my favorite way to eat up a bunch of greens, and makes a lot of food (:

oh! And I’m out of cilantro seeds, so I’m trying out some of the ones I harvested last year for coriander while my plants bolt.

Strawberries are still nuts, blueberries are starting but the robins won’t share.

Food!

We’ve been gone a couple of days, and came home to our first real harvest.

Which I fried and braised

Into this

Yum!

Includes beet greens, Swiss chard, kale, romaine, squash, peas, onion, and garlic from the garden; peppers from the freezer, and beans salt oil from the store.

Also

Strawberries a plenty!

Fertilize!

It’s been raining for a few days, almost thunderstorming, and I’ve been busy/flaring to much to be outside. (dislocated neck?)

I planted a few more okra starts in south d and west e

After pulling a bunch of bolting radishes. I found some beets hiding under there, too.

And a lovely robins egg blue robins egg.

the green beans are growing!

I fertilized (acidizer) the tomatoes, except for one container tomato as a test.

Then I side dressed basically everything- lower and pots

Planted nasturtium along the new rock wall in the lower bed

And a couple of delicata on the slope- protected by copper and sluggo.

Asparagus progress

Okra progress.

Weedy weekend

(Please forgive my typos. I’m juggling kittens as I write this.) The weeds are really out of control, so I went after the ones on the slope on Sunday. Filled up the big compost bin- /:

Now you can see the hydrangeas and roses that are about to bloom, and this pretty plant from the buy nothing group.

Some delightful creature devoured all but one of my winter squash starts. Grrr. I put a couple more seeds in the ground, and am starting some more inside.
