Originally I was going to title this post “Vegetable Garden Wrap-up” but as I was putting in all my pictures, all I saw was a lot of green. I wonder how many people will think this is about being ecologically green?
Apple crop looks good, we’ve picked a few.
This year we finally had grapes on the vines, but this is as big as they got. I think they need to be in a sunnier/warmer spot.
Green beans – bush style did OK.
Leeks were successful, some have already been harvested. The blank area behind the leeks had potatoes that I dug up a couple of weeks ago. It was like finding buried treasure.
Squash overload, at least of their leaves. This mass includes several varieties, the Patty Pan did OK, got a few off the Delica, and the ornamental gourds are spreading all over. There is a yellow zucchini a little to the left, I’ve harvested a few from it, but not the usual bonanza. It just was a weird summer.
Artichoke left to flower.
I did think eco green. I was pleasantly surprised! I agree, it was an unusual summer.
ReplyDeleteI think your grape vine might do better if you reduced the number of canes and topped the ends of the vines to force it to ripen up. Of course a lot depends on the variety but it looks very overgrown.
