The Garden Chronicles

So far, so good, with the garden this  year. 

It was smart to install the green beans in three separate plantings spaced three weeks apart.  Those Blue Lake beans like to ripen just about all at once in the space of one to two weeks.  Last week was the end of the first row and after picking enough beans to fill a giant canvass bag I uprooted the row and sentenced it to the composter.  Row number two should begin next weekend.  The broccoli is done for the season so those plants have been removed. 



Cukes are producing fantastically.  And I planted a final sowing of radishes, spinach and all three of the usual lettuces,

The tomatoes are coming online - although I'm disappointed in the size.  Lack of rain perhaps?  They taste fine however.

And how about this from the fridge in the garage..... 

From top to bottom - a box of fresh cucumbers, green peppers and a crisper filled to the top with pickles for pickling.

Vive le jardin magnifique!
