Starting first with a foggy morning photo of the barn garden. The elderberries are blooming and the onions are ready for fresh picking. We’ll harvest all of them in about a month.
The cabbage is under the row cover in the kitchen garden. It protects them from the cabbage moths.Making kraut from the two we harvested. Just cabbage, garlic scapes and salt.This little Northern Red Oak was growing in an awkward spot so we moved it to the backyard. It doubled in size in about a month – a fast grower.
This is the barn garden in the evening light. It’s been a lot of work, but it looks great and we are excited to keep it in good shape. Dave harvested lettuce and spinach early this morning. Also in this garden are onion, garlic, potatoes, peppers and tomatoes. I had to include some flowers – maybe you can see the marigolds and dwarf sunflowers. Seeds for butternut squash and green beans are sprouting and we are waiting for the okra, cowpeas and bitter melon to show. I don’t think I’ve missed anything. More peppers and tomatoes in the kitchen garden along with the cabbage. I made stuffed cabbage with some of the large outer leaves last week.
