In the Garden Year 2 – July

Suddenly it’s the middle of summer and our freezer is so full of berries we are running out of room for much else. Everything else is looking good, except for what looks like some blight on some tomato leaves. We’ve been getting a lot of hot, 85-90° days lately so maybe that’s why.

Here’s what we’re getting to eat: pea pods, zucchini and yellow crook-neck squash are starting and we’ve been making some cookies , kohlrabi, cauliflower, lettuce, basil, a few green and purple bush beans, kale, Swiss chard, banana peppers, scallions, and LOTS of berries…strawberries, mulberries-started June 23 and haven’t stopped, raspberries-started June 30 and just getting started, a few black raspberries that popped up around the yard by accident, and a few juneberries on the bushes we planted last year.
