With the strawberry and garlic harvest and all the planting behind us the season is fully underway now.
Tomatoes, peppers, onions, green beans, and tomatillos are doing well.
The first and second planting of corn are looking strong. 3rd planting is just coming through the ground.
My grandmother always had hollyhocks growing at her garden gate, so I planted hollyhock in her honor.
This is my carrot growing experiment. Carrots like deep, loose soil and the best i had a was pile of random dirt. I leveled it off and planted carrots and they seem to like it.
I'm about at the end of the raspberry harvest, both red and black varieties. There are plenty of berries left on the canes, but I I've picked all we need and more. I'm trying to find someone to come and get the rest before they go to waste.
Black raspberries are really plump and juicy this year.
We made 11 jars of black raspberry jelly and 9 jars of red berry jelly. Blueberries are starting to ripen and we'll make jam out of some of them. That should hold us over the winter.
We took the remaining onions and garlic out of storage and dumped them on the compost pile. After all the work we went to got grow and store them, that kind of hurt.
Compost is cooking right along. It should be ready to go on the garden this fall.
