So, you can see that it’s time for salad – and a lot of it! Let’s get cutting!
This is the left bed before harvesting….

Cherries and Peppers
Well – not cherries exactly, more like sun gold cherry tomatoes! Almost two dozen of them, beautifully ripe and really sweet! We’re moving right along in week 12!
It was also time for cubanelle peppers. …
Veggie Tales
So, more veggies to pick this week! Giant ones at that! We’re picking in week 9 and our very first zucchini was a monster. I put it next to a jar of pasta sauce for reference:
It was 11″ long and weighed almost a pound! …
Hail! Nooo!
So we had really bad storms yesterday with up to golf ball sized hail in local areas. Oh no! How would the garden do? (image from WYFF)
I found out when I got home. You know, I never considered holes in the plants. Knocked down – yes – I could imagine that, but these are little. I thought the leaves would just bend under fire. Nope.
Now I know that hail can knock holes right in the leaves of the plants.
Ok – they’ll be fine. At least we’re due for good weather for the next few days!
Are those sprouts?
Sprouts? Really? First of the arugula is coming up after only 3 days! I am fairly sure that they’re actually arugula because they’re sprouting in the grid pattern that I planted. This is like being a new mother. Wait – maybe that isn’t the right comparison, because I’ll wind up ripping their leaves off. I’ll think on it…
