Greetings all from west Michigan. It’s been hot here - 80. So go out about 7:30 and work for a couple of hours. The last 2 mornings I cleaned out the asparagus bed we still have more coming. Had to squat or lay on an old throw rug so I could really do a good job. Eating salads and I think tomorrow I’ll be picking the first of the radishes. Staked up tomatoes for the second time. Saw that 2 broccoli heads are forming. Have tp replant some green beans. Half my row is up and the other half (I suspect the seeds were old) did not come up save for one plant. Lots of green onions. Besides eating them fresh, chopped and sealed in a foodsaver vacuum bag is the ticket around here. A couple of handfuls frozen adds to soups or other dishes during the winter. I grabbed plant and stuck it in the garden because I had some space left, called Baby Bell squash. Any recommendations for what to do with it would be appreciated. THANKS and happy gardening!
Dozens of green tomatoes—none have turned red yet.
Maybe a week.
We also draped chicken wire over the top of our raised beds.
Bird netting keeps ground dwelling critters out. The chicken wire is to block intruding squirrels.
We shall see...
