I haven’t harvested much this season at the moment, but there are many more things that are getting ready for harvest time. Tomatoes are producing flowers, beans are climbing the ropes, lettuce is flourishing, and broccoli is next on the list. It is almost the peak of garden season and in about a month I should be harvesting the bulk of the fruits of my labor. (more…)
It has been a while since my last post, but now that the season is pretty much over there is not much to write about. Luckily I grew a fall crop and my broccoli is starting to come through and I have been harvesting them since the beginning of October.
I also decided that it was time to begin cleaning up the garden. This means removing my pole bean trellis, digging up roots such as my sunflowers, peppers, eggplants, and many others. I will probably rake up the loose debris in the garden as well so that I don’t have to do much when the season starts again next year. (more…)
Not a whole much has been going on garden wise except for my broccoli starting to produce heads and side shoots. Once I pick the head the plant should begin to show signs of side shoots where more broccoli will start growing. This should last until the ground freezes or in a couple of months.
Most of my broccoli plants do have heads or are in the beginning stages of producing heads. I will have to start cutting them in the next few weeks and to enable them to continue growing smaller broccoli which I can use and enjoy. (more…)
