This week we bring you a cobra bean and a cucumber masquerading as a nautilus! When growing vegetables encounter an obstacle, they simply find their way around it by contorting their shape.
As you can tell from the amounts in the walk-in, the squashes and cucumbers are slowly reducing output. We harvest daily (squashes) or every other day (cucumbers). So don’t stop using them just because the harvest is less.
There is no time to take a break from tomatoes or peppers. They are at the peak of their production (just in case you hadn’t noticed two full-speed racks). We harvested the first of the hot peppers last week and the first of the melons. We won’t have a huge crop this year. We’ll continue harvesting as they mature.
Beans of all colors and shapes are in a period of lower production. However, I think they will pick up when the daytime temperatures drop next week.
We have a good supply of all the herbs, except chives. We cut them to the ground and are waiting for their 2nd growth.
We’ve finally caught up on micro-greens. Presuming this pattern continues, we’ll soon be flooding your walk-in with micros.
The Garden survived the great windstorm the past 2 days with minimum damage. As expected, some of the top-heavy sunflowers were felled. I guess it was the end of the season for them. This year the birds will have to make do with fewer seeds.
Now that the wind has stopped trying to blow us off the face of the planet come out to the Garden and see what else we have growing.
