Wish I had pix for this - will soon - I hope! My asthma is still doing a number on me - so I don't dare be out too long - which I know the mosquitos and gnats will be sorry for (I'm also allergic to them!)
Perrenial patch - strawberries are done. Asparagus is HUGE - and falling over. And I REALLY need more asparagus! Really! However currently I have some tomatoes that can use the gazillion bare spaces here. Pretty weed free. Essentially. I do have SOME rhubarb harvested - need to get more! LOVE that plant - want to move it this fall - and divide it if possible - as well as plant more - a LOT more!
Beans and Peas - perking along pretty well - still throwing parties for the birds - and I'm still able to get maybe 4 - 6 pea pods off the snow peas! watered them Monday - need to check - I think probably Thurs - for blooms, etc. Butterpeas are blooming. Beans are blooming and HURRAH - a baby green bean!!!! I need to start checking for this as well. Trying to get stuff in refridge used and set for quick meals so I can can this harvest and not have to worry about stopping to fix a meal!
Salad section - am picking salad - although not on Wed - still wheezing a bit - not bad. Did plant more mustard and wanted to plant kale - but seed already went to the birds! :( Greenhouse onions looking pretty good on one side - and spotty on the other - but then the other side is where the birds are throwing dusty spa parties! Especially right in the middle of the leeks!!! Grrrr!!!!! Next year - bird netting! Cole plants are almost ok - I have to transplant a bunch - waiting a couple weeks for hopefully cooler weather. hahahaha!
Oh yeah! I have a BROCCOLI!!!! And not too babyish either! I have to keep an eye on this - or it will go to seed!
Sweet corn and squash - corn is getting tall - at least taller than the squash - and doing great!!!! Squash - I have BLOSSOMS!!!!! on summer squash! Pumpkins and melons too!!!! Yeehaw!!!
Watermelon plant is definitely looking watermelonish - but small - don't know if it will make or not - think I'll start investigating season extender thingies.
Eggplant - looking good - as are the peppers - small - but good! Tomatillo - um - I KNOW it is there - I just need to look harder for it - and weed!
tomatoes - oh my - yes! The plants look great - small - but great. No blooms yet - but great!
Sweet potatoes are doing their viney thing =- and we are discussing the boundaries of their territory.
Beets, other root crops - hmmmm - I am re-planting a bunch here. It is very spotty. clump of parsnips - then nada. same for all roots. Think maybe of putting (1) worm castings in area, (2) re-planting a bunch - but not the long season thingies (3) putting a switcher on water hose - and leaving hose set up permanently there - running this maybe first every watering session.
Potatoes are still doing their potato thing - and I'm looking forward to harvest time. However I STILL haven't gotten the soil there hilled up - and think it may be a bit late for that. We'll see.
Raspberries - oh yeah! I ate my first RASPBERRY on Tues AM - straight off the bush (best way to eat them in my book!) Looking forward to harvest time!
Blackberries - still greener than gourds!
Blueberries and my tree fruit - other than the 2 baby pears (which are still there - YAY) are probably on next year's list.
Flowers - some a bit scorched - I need to sit down with them and deliver some serious TLC! as well as remove all deadhead blossoms!
