I have two children napping at the same time! So, some pictures of developing vegetables:
Black krim tomato in the making. Last year all our tomatoes were eaten by squirrels before they had a chance to ripen. Hoping for better this year.
Long pie pumpkin in the making, maybe. Last year these plants formed several fruits, most of which dried up and fell off.
Monica plum tomatoes to be.
Caraflex mini-conical cabbage. This is about ready to harvest, I think.
Copra onions pushing up out of the soil. Hope they’ll get bigger – they’re supposed to…
Broccoli – another thing that needs harvesting soon. Problem is, it’s a small head (looks bigger in the pic), about enough for one person. And so far it’s the only one that’s even close to picking.
Zucchini to be. Last year, contrary to reputation, two plants produced precisely one zucchini. This year I have three plants, so can I hope for two?
The garlic needs to come out shortly, opening up that bed for fall crops I may or may not have time to plant. If I do, it’ll be kale, beets, broccoli, lettuce, and cilantro.
Desiree potatoes blooming. Note that flowering of potatoes is not an indicator of production. The past couple of years our potatoes have bloomed robustly and produced badly. This year we’re trying growbags for a hopefully less lousy result.
