Garden Progress

 Garden Progress - July 2020

It's finally the weekend!  Hope you and yours are well.

We're doing well, trying to stay mostly isolated, going out to go food shopping or get gas for the genny, and lawn mower.

The garden's going gangbusters, still. 

Broccoli heads are coming along, the Kale not so much, we have cukes now, Rose picked a bunch yesterday, tomatoes are slow growing, Peppers we'll probably pick the first ones today. Swiss chard and collards are growing we'll pick more today too. Summer squash are just hitting 6" or so we'll have to pick a few for dinner. The other winter squash Acorn, Butternuts, and Blue Hubbard have completely taken over the far end of the garden. Many of the spacious isles are now barely passable.  No beans or peas yet they are all still behind.


The Raspberries have passed, never had the time or inclination to go picking this year, the Blackberries should start to ripen in a couple weeks. The local Blueberry place is selling pints for $5 each, ours should be ripe later next week.

Deer are still coming in every afternoon in shifts, the first at 3pm and then another before dark.  Looks like we have 3 fawns this year, that we have seen anyway.  We had a 4 point buck coming in for 3-4 days but we haven't seen him lately.

More to come!

Stay Safe!
