Hello everyone, its August but sure feels like September! Here's a few updates from the garden.
 |
| Pepper row next to some buckwheat cover crop.The buckwheat suppresses the weeds very well. As I pick things or clean rows I just hand toss seeds on surface and they sprout within a few days if it rains. |
 |
| Green chiles looking good. |
 |
| Eggplants coming on with small sets, late but they look good. |
 |
| Tomatoes ripening fast now. Let the canning begin! |
 |
| Planted some broom corn for making decorative shocks this fall. |
 |
| Tomatillos starting to fill out husks. |
 |
| Tongue of fire beans, we pick some fresh and leave some for dried shelling. |
 |
| Cantaloupes beginning to ripen. |
 |
| Butternut squash filling out. |
 |
| Long Island Cheese pumpkin getting bigger every day! |
 |
Brussels sprouts sprouting, can't wait for frost! We may pick some early, but they
are sweeter after a little frost hits them. |
 |
We have a few apple trees that produce some great tasting little apples, not sure what variety.
The tree were here when we moved in. |
 |
Blackberries struggled this year, had a few to eat fresh,
but nothing like the gallons we froze last year. |
 |
Time for a snack after working hard. This time of year we enjoy garden sandwiches:
thick cut bologna from our local processor Delaware Meats, ripe tomatoes, peppers, and beet relish. Yum!
