Have harvested all the remaining side shoots from all the broccoli plants. Not a great deal but certainly enough for a meal or two.
Only a few kohlrabi left and they are all getting huge. Using them in coleslaw where I can grate them so they are not going to waste.
Seedlings are appearing in Bed 1-Row 3 but germination is spotty. Will seed again in the blank spaces.
Frank has suckered and tied in the tomatoes again.
Picked lots of small bugs off the potatoes.
Cucumber beetles are still with us but appear to be posing to problem to the maturing plants. We are now harvesting lots of courgettes.
Went through and weeded out the strawberry beds. Likely missed a few but got most of them.
Noah came to help me for a couple of hours and we cleared another large area of weeds in Row 5 and covered with tarps. Looks SO much better.
Raspberries are showing lots of fruit but it looks small to me. No doubt on account of our drought conditions. We have been watering them and we have received a bit of rain in the last week but clearly not enough. They will still be delicious but small.
Have picked quite a few blueberries before the birds figure out how to get under the nets to get them. Will design proper fruit cage for next year to be built.
The natural rain that we have had has made a great deal of rich lush growth in the garden. Watering keeps them alive but rain makes them thrive.
