I just finished harvesting my garlic scapes and the snow peas are done with their first good batch of peas. Got lots of romaine, too.
My tomatoes flowered and fruited early, but the tomatoes near the bottom when the plants were little, are kind of yellowish and very hard and dry looking. I pulled them off, figuring they would amount to anything. I never saw tomatoes do that before.
I planted more lettuce, beans, and lots of dill.
I’ve been harvesting and drying the herbs and some of the scapes. The rest of the scapes I’m freezing.
I’m still learning about dill. I have one plant in a large pot, and it’s doing pretty well, better than any I’ve planted before. Should I keep harvesting so it doesn’t start to flower, or should I let some flower and turn to seeds?
It’s been great to have fresh dill again. Used it on smoked salmon filets last night. Lemon juice on the filets, followed by olive oil, then smothered in fresh dill and herbs de Provence, smoked on the grill. So great!
The tarragon is still going strong. When we went to visit family a couple of weeks ago, I harvested a bunch to share with my sisters. One sister said it was the best tarragon she’s ever had. She wants more so I’m trying to figure out how to send it.
Does anyone know how to propagate it? Can I divide one plant and send that priority?
