Sweet potatoes, basil, and eggplants June 12 Bed 13
Squash and pumpkins 6/12
Broccoli, celery, kale, and a trellis of pea pods
6/12
Pea pods...yum!
Chamomile!
Potatoes! June 14
Poor corn germination, but onions and garlic are doing great!
Jue 14---Lots of dill in the herb garden+++
Everything in 4x4 growing well!
A sweet potato from Whole Foods that had begun to sprout so I cut in half and put in shallow bowl of water. Looks like they love each other!
a week later...ready to put in garden.
The SAGE garden down the hill from the, June 23..looking great.
The mint garden. That's me picking apple mint in back right quadrant. Left back is chocolate mint. Left front spearmint. Right front peppermint. Middle is filled with chamomile (not a mint).
Lots of ripe strawberries! Some of them ending up in jam! These three jars went in the canner.
Used my sister-in-law's method of turning the jars upside down for these four jars, instead of putting in the canner. Not sure if this will preserve them as well. Might just keep them in the refrigerator. But the color is so much prettier than those from the canner.
Sundial class--fun!
The first summer veggie skillet of the season!
Yuck! Potato bugs! I think the plants got stressed in the dry weather, even though we tried to water a lot. I picked at least 100, probably 200 or 300 off the plants today, knocking them off the leaves into a bottle of soapy water. They ate lot, but I think the plants will survive, and now the ground in very saturated from the rain. June 11
Finally got most of the weeds out of the new asparagus patch. 13 of the 15 new plants grew, but alas, something, I think asparagus beetle larva, attacked the fragile little sprouts, and I think some won't survive. Getting a new bed started is hard, probably because we got a late start. If we have to start over next year, we will get them in the ground in March instead of May!
The best looking of the asparagus shoots.
