The Harvest Looms

We've been tapping into the lettuce, chard and broccoli for quite some time now. Now the green beans have entered the picture. Before too long, we'll be in sugar snap, cucumber, and zucchini heaven. Here are some updated pictures!


Yellow Squash - nonstop blooms these days


"Where do baby squashes come from?"


The first SunGold Tomatoes of the year.


The peas have totally shot up the trellis. Note 2nd crop down below. The white dust you see is Dipel - a natural "insecticide" that we use on all our tender-leafed plants. It works really well and is inexpensive and non-toxic.


Cabbages are reaching the "head" state. Maybe later this week!


Cucumber is climbing its trellis like a champ and is currently ablaze in yellow flowers.


Had our first bean harvest last night! Delicious!!


The rhubarb has been *loving* the cool, extended spring we've had. Hopefully it will tough it out when the temps & humidity increase.


Dwarf iris blossom


Harvest time! Chard, broccoli and green beans
