Put some micro greens in a covered thingy to see if they sprout in the greenhouse
Plus new beds and a progress shot (:

Repotting
I think I have royally failed at growing most seedling this year. I don’t know if it’s bad soil, too many flies, or too much water, or all of that. I took some time to repot everything today to address those things- but it might be moot. Squash and okra look good, though. I have some of those in the greenhouse now.
Here are some more progress shots
More seeds
Started okra and squash seeds, and replanted bell peppers that haven’t come up. Moved the other seedlings off of heat.
I’m very excited to use the new greenhouse!!
Added some more pepper seeds the next day
Tomato Pulling
Was A Success. they ripened inside just fine
Still going
We went away a couple of days which I thought was fine because “everything is done “
Not quite…
The remaining tomatoes are spotted, so they areare definitely done. The runner beans were not drying on the vine, so I pulled them and will dry and shell inside.
A chill…
Whelp, it’s getting down below 50 tonight, so I pulled all the good sized tomatoes and peppers. They’re going in ripening boxes in my office for the time being.
This was an awesome tomato year. I had more slicing tomatoes than ever, tons of sungold from my sungold tree, and a metric ton of novas. The beaver lodge got sad looking, and did best in a container, but I liked that it ripened earliest. (Maybe just one in a a big pot next year?)
The peppers did relatively well- but they stayed small and didn’t redden.
Grapes and tomatoes and potatoes and hops
Harvested and cut back grapes (incorrectly) today. I also cut some tomato batches to hang since the weather is starting to turn. We pulled the remaining potatoes – the big orange pot was the best provider. (It was the widest)
Also, p harvested some hops today.
Still giving
Good haul today- tomatoes are still looking ok- we might have some cool weather coming up, so I’ll keep an eye on them. (I’m pulling the tomatoes early to ripen inside, anything orange).
The jalapeños never got very big, but they look plump and healthy. I’ll need to remember to pull them before a cold snap.
Look at this enormous marigold! It’s from whatever seeds I sprinkled last year at the base of the rocks.
Squash are getting powdery mildew. Happens every year. Delicata look established, which is good. Prolly have another week or so of summer squash.
The okra is still going!
Peas, kale, and favas are getting started.
Looks like it’s almost grape time- we’re going to make jelly this year.
Sunny days…
We’re getting a couple more sunny days and most things have perked up a bit. I’m letting a lot of the runners go to bean.
Tomatoes aren’t slowing down
But everything else is
but do have some blossom and rot on the tomatoes at the base of the rocks. And the plum tomatoes look mineral starved despite fertilizing.
Here are some shots
And my pretty new dahlia that I got surprise gifted while picking up a spider plant on but nothing
