Fall Garden
I was talking to a co-worker a few days ago about her garden, and she mentioned that she and her husband had planted a fall garden. She said they planted some fall crops that would be ready to eat in about 2 months, like spinach, lettuce, etc, and how this is a great time to plant some late season crops, as it gets cooler, and they like the cool temperatures. So I thought that, that sounded like a good idea, so I planted some assorted lettuce, some spinach, a few carrots, some broccoli, a few beans, and some green onions. All these veggies come to harvest in 30-90 days, so that will put them to be harvested in September or October. It will be great harvest.
Well I haven’t updated the harvest tally lately, but it has been a big harvest, and there is quite a bit to go. There a quite a few tomatoes that are green, some are even getting yellow on their way to being red and ready to pick.
Just today, I picked a pepper, 2 zucchini & 3 Cucumbers. Yesterday we got 2 zucchini & a cucumber. The day before I didn’t pick anything, I was tired. And the day before I think we picked 2 zucchinis and 3 or 4 cucumbers. And I picked a few of each the day before along with 2 peppers, so here is my guess on the current veggie count.
2009 Veggie Garden Count (as of 8/03)
- 24 Cucumber
- 17 Zucchini
- 3 Pepper
