Garden Harvest / Progress Reports

Have been harvesting strawberries, spinach and green onions. The sugar snap peas are flowering so these shouldn't be much longer either.

What are others getting out of their gardens?

Can't forget the rhubarb as well :)

So far I've got nothing but lettuce and asparagus - and not a whole lot of that.

On the other hand, I've got cherry tomates ripening, some chile peppers doing the same, and it looks like it's shaping up to be a good year for raspberries!

My strawberries are sulking and not producing at all for whatever reason. It's frustrating to be sure.

Leave them be until after they bloom, all they need now is water. Once they bloom, you can start giving them a light dose of fish emulsion (half-strength) or other water-soluble (quarter-strength) every other week until mid-August. That's it for this year. Next year, you can apply an organic or organic-based fertilizer like Espoma Rose-tone (or Holly-tone) once a month, April - August. That should be good enough. I know nothing about this variety, so I don't know if it is disease resistant. I suspect not, but hopefully someone else who ishas grown it can let you know.

Mason Bee Harvest report 2010: Four different nesting systems

Echoes: 1) Height or width of the overall house isn't very important for the average residential gardener. What -is- important is tube diameter and the presence of orienting marks for the bees, like colored straw tips, or patches of color, or a few straws sticking out further than the rest. These bees like irregular surfaces with lots of identifying marks. They can see blue, yellow, green, and black. 2) Ideal placement is where 1) it will get sun in the morning to help the bees warm up for flight and 2) It's protected from weather. I live in Seattle and place my bees on the south side of the house because they get the most sun there (7 hours during the warmer part of the day) Our storms in Seattle come in from the south, so that also means the houses are exposed to a lot of rain and wind, which 1) encourages them to disperse (fly away and not return to nest there.) and 2)creates great moist conditions for pollen mites. That was a bad idea last spring, which was cold and wet and windy. This year I'm placing some houses on the south side of the house and some on the east side to see which perform best. The east side gets five hours of sunlight during a colder part of the day. For the ones on the south side, if we're in for stormy weather, I have two options: 1) build a more protective roof over each house or 2) Take the entire house (bees and all) and put it in a bag in the fridge for about 24 hours. SARE's guide to Alternative Pollinators says you can do this for up to five days with no harm to the bees. We'll see how that idea works out. :-)

Progress Report and Questions on varieties
Q

Is that normal though to have the different varieties grow at such a different rate? Perfectly normal in my experience and different growth rates and patterns for different varieties has often been discussed here - that you can't fairly compare varieties when it comes to growth patterns as seedlings. Different varieties have different genes = different growth rates so cut them (and yourself) some slack, ok. ;) But that doesn't mean they are somehow more persnikity, less viable, less productive, or stunted. EX: Redhouse Freestanding looks like a pro football player from day one while Opalka always starts out wispy and kind of 98 pound weakling looking but you'd never know that by mid-season when it has left Redhouse in the dust. Just let them do their thing and all else being equal, it will all come out right in the end. Dave

Progress Report (on my overgrown flower bed)

Thanks, everyone! I'm happy with the photos, but they have a lot of what's called "noise." It becomes all too obvious if I enlarge them even somewhat. I didn't put up hummingbird feeders because I was worried about the two outside cats. Before they arrived, I used to hang feeders on the porch, where I was entertained daily by the hummers. But this year I saw only the occasional one. So when I happened to see this hummer in the zinnias outside my window yesterday, I stood there and watched. Normally, I would grab a camera quickly, but I figured she wouldn't hang around long. When I finally went to get one, I thought my chances of getting even one shot were just about nil, but she stayed . . . and stayed. I took over 20 pictures, and had 6 worth saving. The zinnias aren't growing in optimum conditions, so they aren't as full as they should be. I've had some spectacular displays from Burpee's Big Tetra Zinnias as well as the cactus-flowered varieties. Maybe again next year. Maire, I can recommend Liquid Fence, as well as a similar product, Repels-All. Because I've been good about spraying this on "deer candy," my hostas and paniculata hydrangeas remain untouched. I sprayed it on the unfenced pole beans until beans started to form, and as soon as I backed off the spraying, the deer went after them. Spraying on the ground around the beans probably would have helped. Here's another one of the LImelights in a picture of my 4-year-old grandson's school bus arriving on the first day of school this week.

Strawberries flopped here too.

Harvested wild ramps, fiddleheads, morels in springtime. Recently finished up harvesting asparagus, spinach (excellent crop this year but bolted quickly), and radishes. Continuing to harvest rhubarb, winter onions, green garlic, lettuce, basil, parsley, sage, thyme, oregano, marjoram, lovage, chives, garlic chives, container cherry tomatoes. Last two days harvested first celery, first new potatoes, first broccoli, first snow peas. Been eating turnips and the first shell peas - first main shell pea harvest probably tomorrow. Bush snap beans are setting, hoping for a first meal of them this coming weekend. I expect to be harvesting baby beets and baby carrots next week.

We planted strawberry plants from 2 separate sources last year -- the South patches' plants are tall, strong and supporting the weight of large, red berries while the North patch is rather thin and the small berries are laying on the straw. We have been picking about 25 ripe berries a day for the last week or so (and several more berries lost to the compost bin due to nibble/hole damage). Began applying an organic spray to the patch which seems to have reduced the amount of damage. Berries seem to be a bit more sour this season but still tasty.

Our raspberry patch is growing nice -- filling in and green but no other activity. Was glad that they grew back so nice after the rabbits ate all of them to the ground over the winter. Not sure if we will get fruit this season now or not...

Picked our first snap peas of the season last night. Looks like we will have lots more in the next few days.

Tomatoes, chili peppers, and bell peppers have not flowered yet... Growing several other veges as well but nothing close to maturity.

I only plant tomatoes, beans, peppers, and cucumbers. All warm weather plants. The tomatoes are flowering and there are a few tiny green cherry tomatoes.

No harvesting for awhile. Oh, yah, forgot the rhubarb.

Several staggered bunches of radishes and lots of rhubarb. The asparagus did pretty well this year too. My 1st broccoli heads are forming but I don't think they will be as big as Soilent's.

Tomatoes and peppers have lots of blossoms, and there are some tomatoes up to golf ball size.

Blueberries are green still, but have grown to about pea size so far. Raspberries are starting to form but the majority are still in the blossom stage. Looks to be an excellent year for both. Fruit trees are still too young. I'm not even letting them date yet.
