This weekend was a big harvest, but I am an idiot and failed to take pictures, the only one I have for this week is below.

| Part of a harvest of kale, Swiss chard, and green onion. |
This morning however, I got sick of waiting on things so I pulled up a couple lettuces, some celery, and green onions to take over to my mom. Total weight 22 oz.
I filled in my empty squares this morning with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants. Just waiting on the rest of the brassicas to finish up before all of my second planting goes into the ground. The tomato starts have been besieged by some sort of fungus and I'm really hoping that moving them into the garden where it's less humid and they get better nutrition will improve things. /fingers crossed

| Harvest 6/11: lettuce, celery, green onion, one tiny strawberry for mom. |
Have a lovely day everyone!
Looks good to me. A little harvest is better than no harvest. Have fun at the playground!
ReplyDeleteWhat you have looks choice!
ReplyDeleteYour chard is beautiful! Our spring in NC was far too short. Lettuce bolted for me in March after 3 days in the high 80's. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI suppose the long cool Springs here do have their advantages. But you will likely enjoy much better Summer crops than me. :)
DeleteVery yummy! I hope the tomatoes do better once planted up. Fighting fungus in the tomato patch is a bear. Constant battle for us given our cooler and damper growing conditions.
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth! I'm coming to the realization though that no matter where you garden, the weather is always a problem. If it's not too cold and wet, it's too hot and dry. LOL
DeleteGreat looking harvests! I have heard of using garlic sprays to combat fungal infections, perhaps it will help get your tomatoes started better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip, I will give it a shot if they don't improve. I was also thinking some compost tea foliar feed might help. I guess I'll just have to try both and see what works out.
