Soup was yummy with the addition of homemade croutons from hubby’s sourdough bread and a grating of Parmesan 😋!

4 pints of dried peach slices.

Aaaand it’s out of the oven! Tried David Lebovietz’ recipe this time (surprised I hadn’t before as I’ve made so many of his recipes). Quite exciting using an immersion blender (tells you a little something about the excitement level in my life) 🤣. Hubby picked the berries this morning, so he is very excited to have this after dinner tonight! I expect it will fall some as it cools, but the little crunchy crust is a fun touch!

IT’S BLACKBERRY SEASON!!
(All caps because… ::flails hands:: SO MANY!) -
Our green beans are producing so heavily now! We do a combination of blanch & freeze & lactofermented dilly beans.
The jar on the counter is from last year, found tucked in the back of basement-fridge aka fermentation-fridge. They are still crispy & salty & wonderful.
On top of our woodstove is my fermentation station. 3 quarts of dilly beans, garlic basil paste, & chimmichuri paste.

Plums are coming on!

POV: Your shade structures make your raised beds look like a tiny munchkin village
Burlap on bamboo (the peaked one) or brace wire (9 gauge) frameworks. Covering peppers and strawberries.

Dinner tonight: Utica Greens, made with homegrown escarole!
Left central NY (that's upstate near Syracuse) in 2017, but brought this recipe with me.Also works with bolting lettuce that's gotten a little bitter

This may be the best weather week we'll have this summer. Mid 70's, low humidity, clear blue skies. I weeded & hilled our potatoes. Found some 'volunteer' New Zealand "Spinach" (it's actually related to marigolds!) that must have self-seeded from last year! Transplanted it into a free bale & will hope for the best.
It is a heat tolerant veggie & tastes/cooks like spinach. It also freezes quite well.

Chopped bok choi in a salt brine. Step 1 in making kimchi. Honestly, I'm surprised the bok choi hasn't bolted in this heat. We did put row cover over it, but still. This is not a hot weather veggie.
I've never made kimchi before, though I've done many, many other lactofermented foods. This one has some Egyptian walking onions & garlic scapes in the hot pepper paste.
I'll let you know how it tastes in a few weeks.

The Greek oregano I started from seed last year is flourishing (so proud!), and about to start flowering. So this is the moment: freeze or dry to preserve it for winter?

First time growing sweet potatoes!
Saw slips for sale and couldn't resist, even though it's still frosty at night here.
🥶So....how long can I keep these slips in a jar of water? I need 2 weeks to heat the soil with black plastic. Will the slips last that long?

Last year - or earlier - was a good time to start planting your #victorygarden.
It takes time.

Silverberry (ölweide - eleagnus) harvest - two of the three different edible sorts carried this year despite starting the year as baby plants. Next year should
Their berry taste is quite different (a bit sour but good so), and have a massive seed, which you can eat, but I wouldn’t want to process into a jam. So, experimenting with a juice/syrup thing.

Takes a lot of gin and tonics (gins and tonic?) to get through this many cucumbers, but I'm making my best effort

Stop the press - I can make homemade sriracha??
Suddenly my too-many jalapenos are not-enough jalapenos!

My too-many jalapenos are heat-stressed, as are most of the other peppers. Had a feeling they were about to drop all their fruits, so I picked everything that was big enough to use...
This is a whole lot of peppers and chiles.
Also, mulling over how to do a better shade cloth structure over them. At present, our camping screen house is providing some shelter.

What's the collective noun for eggplant?
I don't know, but this is a large herd/flock/sounder. And growing!

I thought it might have been too many jalapeno plants, but now I know for sure

I'm hoping there's some of those sunchokes you gave me among all these weeds!
And also hoping they can stand a lot of competition!#gardening #sunchokes #eatwhatyougrow #eattheweeds #permaculture

26 Jersey Knight asparagus crowns planted! They look weirdly like sea creatures, squid or jellyfish.
Sheet composting didn't work too well here. The plant material decomposed but the paper didn't. Cardboard looked brand new, didn't break down at all.
I've been more optimistic about garden soil than I am with this plot, tbh. Onward!

Happy little hopeful sprouts 🌱
Oregano, thyme came up much faster than expected. Our unheated sunroom makes a tolerable cold frame.
Sprouting peas and some kind of mustard or tatsoi. Labels washed off the containers

Growing #okra :
What's the minimum number of plants you find worthwhile to grow?
IMO okra is like green beans, in that there's no point in growing it unless you have enough plants to produce enough to cook in batches.
But what's that minimum?
Planning how many seedlings to start, once it's time to start them
-
@gardening A day without frost, just right to harvest a handful of the Brussel sprouts. And since we can't garden outdoors right now, we are sprouting indoors.
-
Ordering asparagus crowns soon, and wondering which variety to choose.
Particularly uncertain about ratio of male to female plants or all male cultivars. Is there a plus having female plants?
Also, purple vs green?
I'm USDA zone 6a, sandy soil heavily amended with compost.

@gardening First and last broccoli of this gardening year. I am surprised we had one at all. We ate it with great delight in a vegetable stir fry.
I planted quite the variety of crucifers this year, mainly sprouting broccoli, Tuscan style kale and Brussel sprouts. I know the sprouting broccoli survives German winters, but will the ordinary broccoli plants survive as well? Hoping for a few more sprout harvests...

We have reached the stage of "you are not allowed to buy tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers/chilies/cucumbers/salads/leeks/chard..." for people in this household cause we have plenty from #ShoppingTheGarden.
I pick the flesh tomatoes prematurely to ripen on the counter and allow speeding up ripening of the remaining green fruit on the plant.

This swiss chard is insanely huge.
None of the other plants on actual beds grew this tall. I planted it in a felt bag next to a pepper plant and it just exploded. The pepper feels a bit left out now and it's wondering probably when that huge monster plant will be harvested... 😅
One or two leaves of this are usually enough for a dish for 4 people.
