It's the first day of summer already and I just FINALLY finished planting my garden. I started planting the end of May, but it's taken me this long to finish it up. I can't believe we're halfway through June already. I feel as though someone has hit the fast-forward button and I can't find the pause button.
Here's a list of what's growing as well as statuses:
Garlic - bulbs that I missed when harvesting last year, growing well this year, producing scapes now.
Asparagus - planted last year as 2-year-old plants. I probably could have harvested some this year, but was afraid to as the spears that came up kept withering with the heavy late frosts we kept getting.
Shallots - I've never grown these before, but love to cook with them, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Yellow Onions - I grew these for the first time last year, and they were great! I'm trying a different variety this year that's supposed to store well.
Sweet Onions - My first time growing these, but since they're the kind I usually buy at the market, I thought I'd try growing them myself.
Lettuce - Romaine and mixed greens - harvesting almost daily for fresh salads.
Broccoli - One plant is starting to produce a head already, the rest are just leaves still.
Peas - blossoming.
Tomatoes - blossoming. I have Roma and cherry tomatoes planted as well as some unknowns....
Basil - harvesting for Pizza on the Grill and other dishes already.
Parsley.
Dill - doing well now, will hopefully be good to use when the cucumbers are ready to be made into pickles!
Cucumbers - no blossoms yet.
Zucchini - no blossoms yet.
Spaghetti Squash - no blossoms yet.
Pumpkins - not up yet.
Yellow Squash - not up yet.
Orange Mint - given to me by my mother.
