On July 28th, I posted a few pictures of the new crops that were seeded or transplanted. The weather has been fantastic as of late, almost as if Mother Nature is trying to make amends for the slop she sent our way in May, June, and July! Here are some pictures of how much these plants have grown in about 2 weeks:
Cucumbers
Green Beans
Green Onions
Summer Squash
Radishes
Lettuce Mix
Snap Peas
Carrots
Strawberries
The everbearing strawberries are coming into full production now. We, however, are having trouble harvesting the berries before the wildlife gets them. Whatever is eating them is small enough to get through the electric fence, but large enough that rat traps don’t harm them. I will be placing some live traps tonight to get an idea of what we are dealing with, and hopefully it is not skunks!
