In anticipation of the big storm, we did a quick sweep of the orchard and garden to rescue what we could before the high winds. Thankfully the storm split and went around us; still, never before have I seen our trees bend so much from wind!
Red currants glow like jewels.
We got about 3/4c I'd say. A few more honeyberries too.
The fig tree I chopped is doing great! Three big bushy branches.
The sweet potato vines are going crazy. Hopefully going crazy below dirt as well.
Apples getting bigger... Tied up so the branches don't break.
The potatoes look fantastic...
A couple bins had plants with rough looking leaves, so I dug around to see how they were producing. I had to dig deeper than I thought, but eventually I found one!
Definitely a keeper!
Our lone apricot on the tree the goats smashed, still hanging in there. It's green on the other side, so I haven't picked it yet.
Now for the garden.
Zucchini gone wild. We found three big ones lurking and a ton of blossoms. I found a few patty pan squash up and coming:
Our garlic scapes are blooming. The reminded me of a bouquet after I cut them off. Now I gotta find something to use them for.
We pulled one garlic plant. Didn't amount to much, but bigger than last year.
Other garden bounty- turnips, kohlrabi, radishes, a bunch of peppers. Unfortunately, I didn't label the peppers; I thought it'd be obvious. But it seems like the majority are hot peppers. Of course those do the best. 🤦♀️
I did get a bunch of greens and cucumbers too!
