Very hot today, but determined to have some garden time before it got unbearable.
Harvested a lot & made up a nice box for the fire department up the road - we needed them a couple of times Dec/Jan so I wanted to say thanks.
Their box included all (must have been 10) Giant Marconi peppers - all from only 1 bush, but it’s been prolific. 1 bell pepper - I dropped another one & messed it up, so they got the best one. About 6 huge, beautiful Celebrities and 8 cups of Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. I gave them 4 nice spaghetti squash & they got two frozen packages of scallions, one of white parts & one of chopped green parts.
I pulled all the scallions this morning & froze on cookie trays, then vacuum sealed them.
The Dragon Egg cuke vines were pulled up & the chicken is getting some of the cukes cut in half - she likes the seeds. The borage got taken out of the herb garden - it’s pretty much gone. Basils got trimmed back & the marigolds were trimmed of spent blooms. Any spaghetti squash vines outside of the fencing were cut back - the squash on those vines were harvested. No weeding - maybe tomorrow or Friday.
I love it when the produce is coming in, but dealing with it can be very tiring!
Sorry to hear about your flock. (Weasels!)
