The arrival of the corn means that we are running at full speed--almost all the crops are ready for harvest, some have run their seasonal course (lettuce, radishes, green onions) and some are just getting planted (fall squash, pumpkins). There isn't much time for weeding or general work that needs to be done. In fact, remember the picture of Allison & Emily weeding a few weeks ago? That row is weeded in again and the weeds are up to my waist. I think most of you would rather we pick veggies than worry about the weeds.
Sunday was a working day for us to get the fall squashes planted, garlic & shallots harvested and some much needed mowing. We've had plenty of rain lately (4" Fri-Sat) and the grass & weeds have been growing great. While Bill planted the fancy pumpkins, I harvested the garlic & shallots. If you haven't had fresh garlic, you are in for a treat! Garlic shouldn't be refrigerated which alters the flavor. Fresh garlic isn't harsh or sharp and it does keep.
What will we have on Tuesday besides corn?
