Harvest time!

Yeah, my garlic is emerging fromthe soil! I also have fall peas and spinach. Phil is hoping none of the make it.
I'm making dill relish today with the current cukes. Threw in a carrot for sweetness and the last of the harvested onions...but wish I had more fresh dill!

My earlier experiment with the bags is quite interesting. Some of the carrots seem very stumpy (shortened but thick). I wonder if this is a result of the bottom of the bag. Next year's experiment will have to have a bag and straight soil planting to see if it is limiting the growth downward. Don't think this was covered in the research I've done.
Bags are a winner with vegetables that are above ground (zucchini) and some that are below (onions, leeks). There is an abundance of strawberries and we get one or two each day when we go outside. They are also sending off runners. Early season lettuce was great. Finally, dill and cilantro and fennel were fabulous, but went to seed quickly. I'm short of dill for that reason.

I've started putting in some things for fall and winter. I've got a small section inside the greenhouse with spinach and mustard greens as well as my two tomato plants (plum size and indeterminate). These are being watered with the new watering system Phil installed. Yeah, that makes it so much easier. Outside, garlic for next year. Nice to be planning for next year with some action beyond drying, canning and saving seeds.


I've tried uploading the pictures, no luck times three.
Hopefully Riolink will be out to fix this slow and sporatic system on Monday!
