We’ve been pretty wet too, and earlier this week, I had to pull up the straw I put down between the garlic rows to keep the weeds down.

It was so wet in the garlic bed, that I was afraid it would ruin my huge crop. Looks like we are not going into a drier spell, which will be great for harvesting garlic.

My onions are doing well enough and I am hoping the drier weather will help them as well.

I did have a great snow pea crop and the romaine lettuce was very abundant. My second planting of peas is coming in nicely adn the beans are flowering.

I got some zucchini started, a little late but hoping to beat the squash bugs, especially the vine borers. We don’t do a lot of zucchini so even a small crop will be enough for us.

I am glad for what you can grow - and for what you can eat! Thank God.

How do you find living and farming in NH vs. NY?

Hi! Apologies for being unable to give the URL.

Zucchini butter, Julia Child’s

Melt butter in a skillet.
Add minced garlic and saute until fragrant.
Add shredded zucchini and cook until all the water released evaporates.
Cool in a jar and use on your favorite pasta.
