Still counting my harvest on the side bar. While I wish I could boast more, it is only June after all. Today I harvested 6 ounces of greens for dinner.
Creates unusual opportunities for adventure
Above our home the land is free range. Usually the animals stay well away from the houses, but we have had encounters with sheep and cattle. Now the cattle aren’t too bad, there usually isn’t too many to deal with, and they are easily walked back up the hill. However this week there were about 300 sheep that grazed their way to our property line. Three hundred sheep would make very short work of my garden and yard. So I sent the kids up the hill to move the sheep along.
Of course, as the girls walk towards them, they just turned and walked away, no big deal, all in a days work at the homestead.
It looks like the warm weather has finally arrived, and it is about time! While the cabbage and Kale have loved the cool wet weather, my other heat loving veggies have been struggling.
This is the cabbage patch
I love to watch those first little cabbage leaves curl in starting to make the head of the cabbage.
This is a beautiful Red Kale. I am determined to learn to cook and love kale this year.
Nice healthy Broccoli.
See this lovely bare patch between my Turnips and Spinach? Well that is what happens when you bend over holding a bottle of round up and accidentally spray into your vegetable beds. This whole area was suppose to be filled with spinach and turnips.Sigh…I reseeded….
Little bitty Celery. This is one of my new vegetable for this year.
This bed has some Bok Choi growing nicely. Everything else is still little, or not come up yet.
The Chard, something has been munching on my chard……Grrrrr
The grapes we put in this year, bare root are doing beautifully
as are the strawberries.
As of now the only plants I have lost are the Basil, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the tomatoes will survive.
