We stopped cutting asparagus and are letting it grow. It was good while it lasted.
I dug up one of the potato plants (Yukon Gold) just to see what was happening. I got 8 small potatoes. Just boiled them and served with butter. They were beautiful.
Green peas are being harvested and are really sweet.
The broccoli is coming on strong now and is excellent.
The first of the onions are getting to eating size. Pulled a few just to check them out. They're sweet. Thinned out the 3rd planting and using them in as spring onions in salads, etc.
The lettuce is still going strong. Some of them bolted but still more than enough to keep us in green stuff every day.
Picked some squash at the miniature stage and sautéed them. Wonderful. The plants themselves are huge so once they start producing in earnest we should be swamped.
Pulled some red beets and my wife cooked them. Good. The golden beets are a little slow but should be about ready when we clear all the red ones.
Some of the tomato plants have fruit on them. The Italian Tree tomatoes are about 6' tall but no fruit yet. Lots of flowers.
The peppers and eggplants are setting tons of flowers and I picked a couple of little ichibans just to see.
The cantalope, cabbage, rutabegas and leeks seem to be doing just fine but are a little slow.
And the best thing of all, is that I haven't had to weed my garden yet. At the beginning of the year I hauled 6 round bales of bad hay from the farm and laid some out as mulch covering the garden. I pulled it back and planted the veggies in little holes in the hay. There's been the occasional weed come up, usually where the hay is a little thin, but very, very few. Amazing. I may be getting close to the end of my 25 year quest for a no work garden. It's not the prettiest garden you've ever seen but the hay seems to keep the soil a little cooler, which will help when we get to August, and it cuts down on the amount of watering required. We'll see how it goes the rest of the year but it's encouraging so far.
It's shaping up to be a good, good year.
