So Far I have only harvested a couple of fruits and vegetables this season including strawberries which I discussed in a previous post and peas which I happened to harvest this afternoon. It was only a small harvest, but it is definitely enough for at least one meal. There are plenty of peas left on the plants that suggest that many more harvests are to come. (more…)
Another harvest of strawberries was completed this week and this time I was able to get about two and a half pounds of these delicious berries. I think this will be the most that I pick this year unless I have a very exceptional summer or late crop harvest. The good news is that I picked more than last year which is always good news for any garden.
Some more great things are happening with some of my other plants as well. Flowers are beginning to emerge from my zucchini and tomato plants. The zucchini are actually starting to show signs of fruit which may or may not have been pollinated. I always rely on bees and I try to stay away from pollinating plants by hand. The only plant that I pollinate are the corn stalks when they are ready. (more…)
