Posted on August 10, 2021August 10, 2021Freezing tomatoes Too many to eat and not enough to deal with canning, so at Judy’s excellent advice we are freezing.

Posted on July 12, 2021July 12, 2021Afternoon and evening Argiope spider. We call them banana spiders for the yellow but I think most people call them garden spiders. Missouri fluttermill primrose in the rock/sedum garden continues to bloom! Many tomatoes along with kohlrabi. A caterpillar on cilantro. Maybe a cutworm? It looks familiar… Uzbek golden carrots! Excited to try them… I harvested a bit early on two. Oops. Wes made hot pot style soup. It contains chard, kohlrabi stem and leaves, green beans, sweet peppers, onions, and green onions. A view of the spread. We have a vaccinated guest!!

Posted on July 1, 2021July 1, 2021Wednesday harvest and other friends A lot of blue lake green beans. Several tomato varieties are ripening. UF garden gem was fine but all of the UF “W” at a similar color rotted and molded. Perhaps they don’t like the endless rain? I will watch more closely for ripening now too. The Chef tied all the onions up for storage. The mini bell peppers are more mini than I expected. Corbaci peppers. I think the three little ones aren’t ready, but their plant died. A mini bell pepper plant died too, in the same way, a rotting brown at the base. This mushroom looks like it should be named lemon chiffon something. Weighing the dried garlic. Pseudothyris sp. moth resting on strawberry leaf.
