80% there
I was planning to finish up with the garden posts today and then perhaps move on to a less mundane topic. However, I somehow managed to completely photograph around the beans and squash row, so there is STILL one left to capture on film. Or, pixels. So, one more garden tour to look forward to, lucky bums.
baby greens and elderly greens. stay tuned for the bok choys final appearance.
Greeeeens! A couple of kale varieties and some collards. Cabbage and broccoli heading up the row.
Tomatoes (roma, slicing and heirloom that I can remember), a variety of sweet peppers, cucumbers, and at the back sunflowers and cosmos
the picture comes with it's own caption, brilliant!
These are just so pretty. And productive already.
viola: zee bok choy ees cooked!
Some quick notes, in case I ever transfer my random blog postings into the garden journal.
I’m seeing significantly fewer cabbage worm eggs on the leafies, maybe even none if I dare to hope. I DID find a couple of full sized larvae in our overgrown lettuce bed when I went in and removed all the stunted, strangled leaves. I’m surprised they didn’t do any damage to the lettuce. Too fat, I’m guessing.
After removing all of the miner affected leaves from the beet greens, things are holding strong. Spinach has shrugged all of it’s aphid looking insects, and I’m seeing more and more spiders which is encouraging to me. Also still finding cat shit. No spiders to combat that problem, yet.
Baby slugs are starting to make an appearance. I’m going to try the cheap beer in a dish trick this weekend.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand, the cilantro bolted.
That is all.
looking good and tasty
I haven’t had bok choy in ages. I think I hated it, not sure.
it tastes like a very mild cabbage, but it holds a crunch when not over cooked. i think it would be easy to over cook though, or to add a weird seasoning to make it yuck.
i love peas, they are beautiful and delicious. garden? mundane? naah
