Things are still a little slow around here compared to last year. But the weather is still nice, so I'm hoping for a few more decent harvests.
My zukes and squash JUST NOW finally started fruiting! I probably have almost 10 growing now...right when powdery mildew has set in. Figures.
Also, I got just a few cukes. The bugs just eat them up all early summer.
A few peppers are growing still.
Lots of onions are bulbous and aren't so pathetically small.
I think I've managed to actually grow a few nicely sized beets! Wahoo!
And best news...I finally got a few carrots to grow!!!!! If only I could remember when I planted them for next year...oops? Maybe end of July/early Aug?
We have tons of raspberries which are giving us a nice breakfast treat each morning.
NEXT YEAR
I like all my tomato choices. Stupice is nice and plentiful and I think I'd get more if it wasn't in a pot. The early Oregon cherry didn't do well. Maybe try it in ground next year too. Cherokee purple ended up too shaded next to the beans - only 1 fruit so far and it's still green! I miss the romas.
I should space out the pole beans a bit more and use more trellising.
A whole front bed of bush beans was perfect!
Also, the peas were good.
More hot pepper plants! Since I only get 1-3 peppers per plant, I should just try and grow a bunch from seed.
FALL/WINTER
The past few weeks I planted more lettuce, arugula and spinach. It's doing well in the shaded bed. I should plant more!
I transplanted some Chinese cabbage in a few different areas. Its doing very well, but I hope it'll grow fast enough before its too cold.
Transplanted some onion starts. Doing ok?? Will they make it through the winter?
I need a place for my garlic which goes out in about a month.
