Garden is good! So much going on. I’m happy yo nerd out about it for a while.
Garlic harvested this morning! 21 heads. I’ll save the biggest to replant in the fall. Last year they didn’t cure. Fungus I presume. Hopefully not an issue this year.
Onions curing complete. Used a ton fresh. Only four smaller onions made it through the curing process. Have fall onion starts growing now!
Peppers - seem small. I will resist adding additional plants. A few hot peppers visible and growing. Sweet peppers seem to be struggling. Yellowish. Never look happy. There are a couple of tiny fruits just now settling. Not sure they’ll be successful.
Lettuce. Spring plants still going strong just started more. I’ll add shade cloth. Maybe tonight. New lettuce plants recently started. Should have done that a month previously.
Herbs. Mostly out. I have one parsley that hasn’t bolted. I need to start more parsley, cilantro, dill. Sage shrubs are doing alright. I want to plant one and give the rest away. I need to decide where to plant mine. Tbh i kinda want them out of here before the fall plants still swap. They look ready to be up potted again. Basil always bolts for me. Ive been pinching it back weekly and using fresh or drying it. I’m getting some nice dense little shrubs!
Tomatoes are going wild. I need to prune them back again. I have a small salad tomato and a large salad tomato rn. Only one paste tomato plant rn. It’s fruits are not ripe yet. I am considering planting another round of paste tomatoes or propagating the plant i have.
I have a few more things but I’m tired of typing 😂Everybody stay safe in your respective heat waves.
