Summer in the Garden

 


It’s pretty much the same old, same old – pulling weeds, controlling out of control squash, loofah, bitter melon, and melon vines, harvesting a few straggling peppers, okra, tomatoes, etc., and thinking about our fall crops. 

The VegHeadz have scheduled a planning meeting in a couple weeks. We do this at the beginning of the spring and the fall seasons to decide how that season is going to go and what happened in the previous season. It’s an exciting time in each case because we know new plants will be growing, new things will be tried, new information will be gained.

Depending on when you planted your sweet potatoes, it will soon be time to start harvesting them. Enter sweet potatoes in the search box in the right side bar to access our posts about sweet potatoes, how to grow them, and what to do with them including a few recipes and links to more information. Knowledge is always good.
