What's Growing, What's Not
Daylilies have just begun blooming. |
May has been a month of harvesting the last of the winter garden and planting for summer. The fall and winter garden have pretty much wound down.
Garlic has been harvested |
Multiplier onions are next |
Sugar beets and kale are still growing. |
The kale is Lacinato, an heirloom variety and new for me. A keeper! |
It’s mild, tender, and tasty. Here’s some sauteed with carrots and onions. |
I don’t remember what lettuce this is. but I want seed from it because it never got bitter. |
For the summer garden I’ve been busy getting growing things in the ground.
I had about three dozen tomato starts. |
They’ve all been planted and most are doing very well. |
I transplanted pepper starts too. |
Do you remember the survivor strawberries Dan found last January and I transplanted in the hoop house?
My one little bed has done very well. |
We didn’t get many, but it was enough for a couple of batches of strawberry pancakes. |
Some of my potted potatoes. |
Potatoes plants grown from grocery store organic potatoes. |
I planted cowpeas in the potato bed. |
My rice is doing well, though I admit I pamper it. I worry that our current hot, dry spell may be unhappy for it.
Loto rice, a short variety. |
Cho Seun Zo Saeng grows taller. |
Other things that are doing well:
Crabapples |
Starks Moonglow Pears. They are sweet and spicy. |
Hops. I say it’s doing well but I lost 2 out of 3 plants. Here’s hoping this one is a female! |
One of our hay patches with sorghum-sudangrass. |
Some things haven’t done very well.
Only a couple of cucumber plants came up so I replanted. |
I had to replant my corn too. |
Still to plant:
Sweet potato slips. They’ll go in soon. The potted flower was a mother’s day gift from my oldest granddaughter. |
This one was from my youngest granddaughter. |
I don’t know what they are but it’s perfect to grace my barn bench.
So there’s what’s growing (or trying to grow) around our homestead. How about you?
