The Garden's Getting In Gear
Still getting carrots, scallions, kale, beans and cukes. This morning's bean pickings will be converted into pickled Dilly Beans and Pickles is going to start fermenting some of the cukes. Neither of us has ever fermented cukes before.
Got the first Millionaire eggplants and Spring Treat corn yesterday. Spring Treat's a small (5' tall, 5" ears) 67 day variety that provides sweet eating before the Silver Queen's ready. The second half of June is pretty much the time that the garden peaks and it's getting there. Here are the two sides: I grew another spaghetti squash plant to replace the one that the nematodes killed. It's been hardening off and today it got planted in the old abandoned asparagus bed where the trombone squash is growing. The two can share the space. But it's been hardening off in recent cooler weather and now it's getting hot again so I decided to shade it. I took an old floor fan cover, attached a piece of recycled house coat with clothespins and sat that cover on top of four recycled tent pole pieces. I'll leave it on a few days before removing it. Ya make it up as ya go along and use what ya have on hand! |
