June in the Garden

Tiny Red Beets

Healthy radish plants!

New asparagus looks great...too bad we have to wait another year to eat it!  (But I did taste one stalk!)

Winter 2019

Garden planned, seedlings started--the hardiest already out in greenhouse!
And Friday, March 22, planted peas in the garden and lettuce and spinach in the coldframe.
Tuesday, March 26: Planted Onions and photographs seedlings.

I like to lay out all the onion sets in rows, photography them, and then cover them--but as you see, I started covering before photographing.  

6 rows: 2 red, 2 white, 2 yellow.

Last year's greenhouse re-erected and doing great.  The plants go out in the morning and in the building most nights.  

Almost all the seedling trays are up, even the parsley, but still waiting on the peppers!  Those are the two slowest germinators.

October

Planted garlic today, Oct. 22.
Pulled up squash and pumpkin vines, nasturtiums vines, and zinnia, marigold, and pineapple sage stalks, which froze  over the weekend.

SEptember

Such a horrible year for the corn.  First it didn't germinate well.  That is probably what caused the problem you see in this picture.  If there's not a thick enough stand of corn, then the pollen can fly away, never landing on the corn cobs.  Therefore, not all of the eggs get fertilized, and thus not all of the kernels develop.  

 But the San Marzano tomatoes are beautiful!

 And the biggest white onions ever!

 Great Spaghetti Squash.  This is HALF of what grew from one plant!

 Kidney Beans, ready to be shelled.
