Today, 2 Brussels sprouts that had been lodged by last week's storm had to come out, as the tops were starting to yellow. Look pretty decent, both to size & number of sprouts on the ~30" stems.
Also today, I finally got my garlic planted. It's only about 30, but until I get the knack of actually growing some bulbs worth harvesting, that's all I sacrificing to Mother Gaea.
Leeks are still going strong; we're only taking out what we need for immediate use...such as today, when I used one, plus a bunch of Egyptian walking onion bulblets and some of our coriander seeds, to make a chicken rabbit korma for dinner.
Still drying & threshing sunflowers. So far, we've got an 18 gallon tote full of dried seeds, and have about 1 1/4 gunny sacks of seed heads to go. Should end up with close to 25 gallons,
The weather this year has really put me behind schedule, and it is still too wet to do the Fall tilling.
We are having un predicted rain tonight. I actually have 2 sunflower blossums. All the others were chewed up or died. If I get any seeds, I’ll have to plant them next year, in honor of their tenacious ability to survive.LOL
Going to try to get the garlic going this weekend. I have so many bunches this year, I’ll be planting what I bought as well as some of the ones I harvested.
Probably give the kids some braided bunches to go with the pickles and green beans I canned at Christmas.
