Mid summer seedlings

Now that we have the weeding under control and have established what made it and what didn't in our absence, I have the time to plant more seeds, and seedlings that will be ready to harvest in the latter part of the summer here.

 

 

I have started peas and beans, amaranth and pak choi,arugula, lettuce, summer squash and cucumbers.

If we have a nice warm summer with regular rainfall, the new plants should reach harvesting size over the next month or two. If that doesn't happen, we'll still get to harvest some of what I have started. It is always worth the effort.

 

It looks like we'll be harvesting grapes in a few weeks. The vines are laden and taking over their neighbours in the garden.

 

In the mean time we are eating plums, tomatoes, oranges and apples. The lemons are heavy on the tree and are getting great use on the daily harvest of fish we get from the river in front of our house.

 

Usually we don't get this many, but we are getting enough that we eat fish daily and get to smoke the surplus. Smoked fish on pasta-yummmm/
