Here's the thing. I can't upload photos at the moment. I physically have them on a little XD card, but that's where they're staying until my computer problems are sorted. I've got some photos of a few sewing projects I've been working on I'm looking forward to sharing.
I made a goal to avoid buying vegetables from July onward. Partner (President of Grocery Shopping), take note.
I harvested all my garlic. I could have sworn I planted no more than 60 cloves, but I pulled up 81 bulbs. I brushed off excess soil and then laid them out on a plastic sheet in the garage. We had a massive rainstorm which slightly flooded the garage yesterday, but I checked and my garlic was still dry.
In the now vacated garlic bed I scattered beet seeds and put in another row of peas. I think I still have time to plant one more batch of peas, and I've got a tiny amount of free space left for them. I also made my first harvest of peas; I parboiled them in their pods with a few sprigs of fresh mint. So yummy!
A fifth of my cherries disappeared in mysterious circumstances, leaving me with a grand total of four. To prevent the others from the same fate, I draped a net and liberally applied clothes pegs to secure it. When those four ripened to a beautiful bright red, I baked eight muffins, each with half a cherry. I'm hoping for a bigger harvest next year.
But to make up for it, Franklin and I discovered some wild cherries growing in a little wood in the park. We found them by accident when we looking for bee orchids and were caught by rain; we ran to the nearest stand of trees and discovered ripe red cherries. I picked as many as I could reach and Franklin ate at least half of them.
