General Update

written by Yvonne

We could have pulled the beets up a while ago, but they're still hanging in there. Good recipe? Beet hummus. Bad recipe?  Beet and avocado smoothie.


Out of all the pepper plants that were started from seed, the only ones that took were the banana peppers.  :(  Big time bummer 'cause we had a lot of varieties and really wanted lots of peppers this year.


I guess some peppers is (are?) better than none (and none is what we had the last two years).


Tomatoes are gettin' big!!!


The small ones are really taking off.


There are little clumps of them all over the place.


Is that a blush of red I see on that tomato?!?!? Won't be long now.


Cucumber flowers are everywhere...


as are the cucumbers. I can't get enough of cucumber, tomato and pepper salads.


Bug.


This is actually a weed of some sort or another.


The kale and chard are kicking in one last time before they bolt.
