Garden journal: producing produce

Our first radishes: Thursday June 6. Crisp and mild, they have benefited from the near-constant rain we have received.

Peppers, tomatoes and potatoes are abloom.

As are the potato beetles. Organic potatoes means squishing them. One. By. One.

My eggplant starts are almost large enough to plant.

Unfortunately, the eggplant garden needs some work.

The pumpkin patch has been prepped and planted.

The squash square sports sprouts.

I found a lovely toad while weeding garlic.

Onions! No bottoms yet, but we sneak some of the tops into pasta, guacamole, and anywhere else we can.

The cucumbers need weeding.

My lettuce/radish ratios seem about right.

We thinned the carrots and bok choi.

I thinned the Grand Guy’s thatch.

The rabbits thin the peas and beans.

Michael thinned the rabbits. (Cuban style fricassee comes highly recommended.)

The only one not getting thin is me!
