We had almost 28 days of rain in a row in April and May, but for the past three, the sun has been bold and bright, and the garden is grateful. Almost everything has sprung forth in the warmth.
Here’s what we’re harvesting right now
- strawberries
- radishes
- lettuce green
- garlic scapes
- cilantro
- lemon balm
- and gorgeous peony blooms.
And soon, we’ll be adding:
- sugar and shell peas
- fennel
- and more fresh herbs.
The bush beans have unfurled this week, and the corn is on target to be more than knee-high by the 4th of July. Our cucumbers, yellow squash, and zucchini are spreading out, and I saw the first fronds of watermelon and cantaloupe yesterday.
Tomorrow, I”ll be out there with a hoe to beat back the ground ivy and keep the weeds in submission. . . I can’t wait.
All our produce and our fresh eggs are in the farmstand at the end of the lane as they become available. Do stop by if you’re in the area, and visit our Little Free Library in the farmstand while you’re here.
