What’s Green Wednesday
My Garden, just before we left for our 2 week trip to Texas.
Peas, just about ready:
A few raspberries, just about ready:
Grapes. One in particular doing well (I planted 4 this year, along with 8 blueberries that were $4 each on an end of summer sale):
My Three Sisters planting. Corn, Scarlett runner beans, and pumpkins inter-planted to benefit each other. I have little experience growing corn. It was transplanted after growing in teeny starter cells for 6 weeks. The tap roots were almost non-existent, which I know is sad for corn. They are barely a foot high and are trying to grow cobs. Is that normal? Will they get any bigger? Worry worry, fret, fret. The beans are ready to climb the corn I thought would be growing strong, and the pumpkins are just starting to pop up. Will they get any pumpkiny produce before frost in 2 months?
A new sowing of carrots and beets I planted while my parents were visiting:
Zucchini, just starting to put on buds and leaf out:
Carrots and radishes I planted as soon as my boxes were finally read for them (onions at the front):
Brasiccas:
Tomatos, Cucs, and Peppers (Next year, these guys would LOVE a hot hoop. I’m not sure I’ll get anything off of them this year):
A new smattering of snap peas—so I don’t have to shell before I put them in the freezer:
Baby brassicas and boc choi, along with more peas:
Boc Choi going to seed and more peas and my compost trench:
Strawberries! Finally pettering off in production (1 honey bucket full instead of 3 every 2 days)
Asparagus, little and fluffy and slightly neglected:
Apples on the tree, and the Temple!

See you in 2 weeks my friend.
