Restarting the garden

[secuono]

I have been studying/practicing Fall gardening bc my season is shorter than yours, but our Spring vegetables usually bolt before you can really harvest them, less likely in the Fall.
You have time to plant a 2nd cucumber batch and harvest THIS YEAR.
Worth looking into...

I had to buy w pantries to store my pickles in one!


Plus the fridge pickles!!

2 days ago- most cukes going to the birds.


Yesterday I pulled Yukon Gold potatoes! Now I can make rabbit stew!
Bit of a learning curve, gardening with rabbit manure. It holds water. So, cucumbers, peppers and heavy feeders love it. But potatoes, bulbs and such rot.
Will mix next year with the garden soil to prevent loss.
Hosed and in the crawl space. Much colder in there.


Today, pears. I need to figure out how to can them do they last!
3+ times as many are still on the tree!

Whole 5gal bucket full. More to go!
Found a bald faced wasp nest while I was picking. *careful...careful..*

Yep, cukes are done.
The previous very orange cuke *wasn't* ripe! Seeds flat & empty...So, leaving cukes on vines until fully dead.
