By now, the third week of August, the garden is not only about the plants but also about the produce. The planters on the patio continue to look healthy as I harvest a crop of lettuce and plant a few more rows of radishes.
Baby Romaine lettuce and new radishes look good!
Black Seeded Simpson lettuce ready to pick:
Raised garden beds, just before harvesting stuff…squash and potato plants have died down; beet leaves had been chomped down by the deer a few weeks ago.
Beets before and after.
Delicata squash
Red potatoes that were growing on my kitchen table in the spring:
We dug up just a few:
Up in the garden on the hill, the Lavender is still making the bees happy.
I will let these stems dry for a while in the house:
Still quite a few green tomatoes. They should ripen over the next two weeks.
Although we still have a bunch in the house, ready to eat!
This is the second planting of green beans…no flowers yet!
Carrots are still growing. Should do better when the fall weather arrives.
With the Delicata squash plants gone, all we have left is a few weeds!
The Echinacea is not as pretty but the bees still love them!
We’ve managed to share a few tomatoes with the neighbors, and we’re blessed with some of their garden produce!
So far, we’ve kept the deer away from most of the garden, but they still like to clean up around the bird feeders…even in broad daylight! Enjoy!
Mary,
A lot of photos won’t load for me.
Wow! I’m sorry. I’ll try to not use so many…others may have the same problem!
