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.

The most beautiful onion
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 (:

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.
The second best thing about planting “too much” garlic is an abundance of scapes.
I split them into 4 parts- trimmed and put some in the fridge in water, made basil pesto (basil, salt, pepper, hot peppers, garlic, vinegar, touch of sugar), oregano pesto (“), and salsa (cilantro, hot peppers, salt, pepper, lime juice, a few tomatoes). The salsa is definitely the winner.
P weeded and mowed while I did that- and discovered a treat- salmon berries hiding in the bramble!
Yum.
