Final Harvest

Well, it was time for the final harvest of broccoli from our garden and I think think the peas are almost done, too. We still have one more harvest of peas, but I think they are quickly reaching their end, too. We could probably push them to last a little longer, but we have pole beans that we want to get in sooner rather than later.



Gropius is still hopeful about the brussel sprouts (I'm not). I think we just waited too late to plant them this year. Unfortunately, our warm winter meant we should've planted them back in January or February. So, I think we'll have to wait until later this summer and hope for a fall harvest instead.

I'm ready to plant the watermelons that I started from seed--an heirloom variety called Moon & Stars.

Because we were gone last weekend, we played catch-up in the garden yesterday. I did some pruning of my herbs to keep them from getting leggy.

We almost have enough dried chamomile for a cup of tea...but not for me at the moment (one of those herbs I'm supposed to keep away from).
