My garden is producing tomatoes that are ripe and while not as sweet as in a warm year, they are most welcome. Today I roasted the tomatoes, banana peppers and garlic then sauteed some onions and oregano added the pureed tomatoes and peppers and it was a yummy warm soup.
Garlic is still holding well, potatoes in box with paper between the layers, both are in the garage. Temperature there will be about 40-50 degrees so a bit warm but it is the best that I have for now.
My parsnips are growing and I am excited about that, beets too.
It is time to make some pesto to store since the nights cooled down as of yesterday. I think that the basil from seed did the best, but all plants were productive and mild.
My ordered garlic came and it is helpful to identify some varieties and will sort as best as possible. Preparing the beds now for planting, turning over my own compost, adding green sand, and now will get some composted manure, let it all settle in and will plant toward the end of the month and try to remember to consult the moon just for fun!
