Love the gardening videos. It is getting to be time to plot out my fall garden. I have all the seeds I need, I just need to decide on what I am, going to plant where. For now, it is harvest time. Thursday. I harvested out my shelling peas, snow peas, and potatoes. Friday, I harvested the kohlrabi and Swiss Chard. My mustard greens are ready for their third reaping, and I have crookneck squash, lemon squash, zucchini, cucumbers, salad onions, and Hungarian Yellow Wax peppers ready to pick. I have potatoes chitting for planting fall potatoes on July 2nd. In july, I'll start seed starts for cabbage, in August, seed starts for brocolli, cauliflower, and Nappa Cabbage. Tunips and carrots will probably replace my Hearts of Gold cantaloupe and Sugar Baby watermelon. In a coupel of weeks, my garlic will be ready to pull up. My onions won't be ready until August or September leaving that bed open for planting. My tomatoes are flowering and loaded with ripenng fruit. I just planted seedlings for late season tomatoes, and have two more ready to transplant. I'll probably up pot them and wait until some of my determinant tomato plants have been harvested, and are ready to come out of the ground. It won't be long. I'll be harvesting the first tomatoes of the season in a couple weeks. I have two peach trees to add to my orchard, and a Prarie Fire crabapple tree coming in the post with an estimated delivery date of Tuesday. Dang garden keeps getting bigger! LOL. Happy gardening!
