The garden is hitting its stride! Up to this point things have been trickling in at a reasonable pace — a few zucchini a week, some beans, arugula — enough that I have enough to enjoy but no so much that I am getting tired of things yet. I have been cooking a lot of my old favorites — grilled zucchini, sauteed veggies on coucous and sausage, awesome green bean tarragon potato salad — and adding a few new recipes to the rotation — “Fried” zucchini spears, etc. It is all helping me keep myself feed while I am so busy and stressed out. And cooking has always been another of my destressors — so win, win. But I have been eager for the tomatoes to start pouring in.
Today, a rare day off, I had my first really bumper harvest:
Beans, carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, patty pans, cucumber and a pile of tomatoes! (and one random radish)
And I’m looking forward to more.
Peppers in the front — mostly not ready yet but lots going on there. carrots are still pretty small. 2 tomatoes — getting close to trickling in. zucchini and squash producing a few a week. Look at the big ole weed — gardening fail.
My favorite — the stupice — is pretty small but producing. The green zebra is proving to be the most promising. The black beauty is also doing pretty good.
The beans continue to be the top producers. The winter squash isn’t doing much at this stage. The patty pans aren’t as productive as the other summer squash but doing ok. Arugula has bolted and will need to come out soon. Other lettuces are really bitter and will probably end up getting composted. The cucumber in front is doing better than cucumber usually does for me, but that isn’t saying much.
