2010 Season Notes (June)
Until something unexpected happens, we are feeling very good about the garden this year. We are ahead of the game with spinach and radishes ready to harvest. This week's hot spell helped move things along, including some weeds, but we are managing them well so far.
This year we will plant beans, peas, corn, carrots, radishes, beets, broccoli, cabbage, zucchini, swiss chard, lettuce, turnip, parsnips, summer squash, winter squash, garlic, popcorn, and onions. most of which is already in the ground. Strawberries were transplanted last fall, so we are expecting a decent harvest this year. If last year was any indication, we should have strawberries in June and again in August.
We are hope to plant an herb garden this year and trying celery, eggplant, kale and kohlrabi just for something different.
The new section of field that was harrowed and planted with oats last year is looking good. The oats are a natural fertilizer for this new plot of ground. We haven't decided what to plant in that field yet, but we'll post it here when we decide.
