The black raspberries are pretty much finished. The red raspberries will probably be done producing this week.
I must admit that I’d hoped we would have a longer season of summer berries, enabling me to can some for use over the winter, but no such joy.
Perhaps once we get the plants on trellises, they’ll produce a higher yield.
The corn is verging on 7-foot tall where it’s had full sun. The corn nearer the edge, and in the shade is a smaller 4-5 foot tall.
The salad (arugula mainly) is still doing very well. The actual lettuce has been very disappointing.
I’m thinking some of it has to do with a groundhog or two that we’re being pestered by.
Still no topsoil.
The sweet potatoes out on the porch in pots are faring ok… but a bunch of melons that we’d planted in trays are not doing so well.
The asparagus that we started from seed is really concerning me, as the stalks are very thin and spindly, and they keep falling over.
They’ll be thicker next year, but we have to get them through this one first.
We should have a few more tomatoes this week, with any luck.
There are radishes that I can see in the garden that should be good to pick this week too.
I did my first picking of beans (quite a large crop, actually!!) last week, and a handful of garden peas too.
We have a couple peppers that are ready to pick.
The radishes are just about ready to pick.
