Haven’t posted for a while. Here’s a recap…

We’ve had some solid successes this year. As or right now, we’re still getting a few raspberries — they kept going all summer and into the fall. We also have more than enough chard, kale, and collards, plus a few fall orach plants. We harvested peppers a few weeks ago, and they put on another crop that’s still growing. The green beans and dry beans did pretty well.

We got some corn — not a lot, but enough to enjoy. The sungold tomatoes have done well, and the Juliets are small but plentiful.

The pestilence this year was squash bugs. Never had them before. They took out the spaghetti squash plants after a few squash had grown, and the delicata before anything was produced. We might have to skip squash for a couple years, or find a variety that is resistant.

Hazelnut harvest was a couple weeks ago, if I remember correctly.

We finally got our first green bean harvest. We’re picking two or three lemon cucumbers a day. We harvested some potatoes a week or two ago. The newly planted peas should start producing soon. We need to start harvesting the collards. We have a good amount of basil. The raspberries are making another round of berries that we can start picking soon.

There are lots of japeño peppers growing. The tomato plants have been slow, but there are a few tomatoes on the way. Some delicata squash are finally starting to grow.

A few days ago we transplanted some collard someone gave us on row 3.

Today we planted dry beans on row 4. We had to pull out a bunch of chard that was going to seed to make room for the beans, but we have plenty of young chard plants all over the place. We also transplanted a sungold tomato plant on row 3.

We’re still trying to keep on top of pulling out grass. It’s pernicious.
