I ate my first 12in long bean, which was probably a bit early even for it, these things are supposed to get really long.
I picked out all my garlic, let me see if I have a picture somewhere:
I can't stress how helpful these greenhouse posts have been. They're perfect for hanging the garlic to dry, and also nice for reaching the middle of my raised beds without stepping on the dirt. Very very awesome. Notice the garlic bulbs are a little sad, but still it's the first year i've ever tried it, and I put them in late. Hopefully this years will be better :).
I got out several multiplier onions, all ranging from about ping pong ball to a small baseball size. Looking forward to putting the ones that last the winter back in in the spring. A few that came from seed have grown, a couple that look pretty nice, i'll try and grow them all next year to see if any of them are promising.
The lettuce has finally gone to seed, and i've gotten about 200 black seeded simpson seeds so far from 1 plant, we'll see how many i get total, it's not slowing down. I also got about 100 romaine lettuce seeds, we'll see if they mix at all. I'm going to plant them pretty soon when I get the zucchini out.
I planted some new kale seeds in the front where there's a lot of shade, we'll see how they do in the summer. I was planning on planting another plant or so every week to see when the best time to plant kale is in my yard, I'm hoping to get as much kale as possible :). I'll keep this updated with pictures and all that in it's very own post as things progress
I got some more basil and cilantro planted out in the front yard. The mint in the front yard is growing well, and one of them isn't, it's odd. But today I picked some mint, about 5 or 6 sprigs, and boiled them in a few cups of water to have my first herbal tea from the mint. It's pretty good stuff, with just a little honey.
I'll keep everyone updated with images and all that, but it's been a while since my last post.
