Tomatoes have been coming in, bad year for blossom end rot, especially in a swath of the garden with thin soil.
Melons did great, but now we have a fridge full, and I'm not sure we'll use them all up before they start fermenting. Hopefully we can choose the best ones to freeze.
Hoping to yank out the plants soon, and I'm not sure what I'll put in that spot for the last bit of the season... Maybe spinach or broccolini.
I didn't get around to an early planting of green beans, but my later plantings are just starting to get ready.
Sweet peppers also suffering the blossom end rot, so I just picked a bunch of unripe ones too freeze the good parts, but the first healthy fruits are also starting to turn red.
Winter squash is in that funny spot of "hopefully going to stay on the plant a bit longer to get to best quality and maturity, but leaves going down to powdery mildew..."
Cherry tomatoes are going wild. Cucumbers and summer squash are both starting to give up the ghost to disease, and second plantings of both are not yet fruiting. |
