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.

Harvest!

It’s been HOT here, and dry, so I’ve been watering things, and today this bounty!

I lightly stir fried it with some onion, basil, and garlic, with some salt, feta, and vinegar over cous cous. Yum!

I planted some more arugula, Brussels sprouts, leeks, cilantro, and cover crops in the bare spots. Hopefully I get more sprouts.

Argula and cilantro sprouting… First yellow bean!

It’s been HOT and I’ve been watering my seed beds everyday. The Brussels sprouts, beets, carrots, and leeks are showing nothing, but I have arugula and cilantro popping up

Arugula

Cilantro in pot. I ran out of packaged seeds, so I pulled out the ones I dried last year for coriander- they are viable! Yay!

There’s also basil popping up inside from seed.

Pulled some more onions to cure, and a hand full of squash and a couple of snap peas (they never make it inside)

Also not inside is this first yellow bean. It’s inside my tummy.

more yellow and green beans on the way, though!

More progress shots. Red ribbon tomato almost ripe- have had a couple of sungold already. Both are happier than this tomato plant growing out of the side of whole foods.

I had a crazy raptor day last week- saw a bald eagle making Red (the redtailed hawk) mad, saw 3 osprey over the studio, and a group of swallows chasing a kestral across the field. One of them left us a little pellet filled with scales and bones on the deck.

Here’s our usual morning soundtrack (plus truck traffic, usually)
