Comments (2)Hi bluemammoth - I don't live in Harvest, but I do want to wish you luck with finding Peanut. I have an inside cat, Annie, and dog, Gibson, and I can only imagine how worried and upset I would be if either of them got lost. I hope to see another post from you soon letting us know that Peanut is back home, safe and sound. - Haley...See MoreHarvest from Winter Sowing
Comments (7)"I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with L..." My lettuce is just about ready to cut for the first salad of the season. I've got multiple different ones, Bibb, Black-seeded Simpson, Ruby and a few others. It's disappointing my tomatoes won't be ripe when the lettuce is ready to be picked but that first taste of home-grown produce is much anticipated nevertheless....See Moreinquiry-harvests from gardens and farms
Comments (5)I'm not abig farmer, but do have a good sized garden. Here, even though our spring was very unuslaly mild back in April, we did have our share of heavy rains. Things like cucumbers, peas, and corn were planted and most were either lost to the extreme water or were very slow in germinating. Usually, I am overloaded with cucumbers right now, but they were very slow in coming, and I am only getting small harvests about every four days. These harvest are just maybe 10- 20 pickling types from about 40 plants. Same with peas, which are now past due to the heat. String beans were also very slow, and are just now producing. The only vegetable that has been growing profusly are my small mildly hot peppers. I started these plants indoors and set them out the begiining of June between rain. My soil was so muddy, that I couldn't put down the fabric mulch I use. My shin high boots sunk into the mud so deep that I had to use a big shovel and some boards to get to it and pull it out. In April, I was able to do my tilling, and just after it was done was when the rains came. I believe that many have suffered loses due to rotting seeds, as well as having very poor growth due to temperatures and all the rains. Even for that, it was so wet, I had a few 'streams' form in my garden, and these washed away many seeds, fertlizers, and anything that was planted last fall as a harvest now. Garlic was the worst, and out of about 40 plants, I have just one single left, which is now looking very sickly. I think that not only will prices rise due to the weather, but also due to fuel prices. Someone has to pay the increases......See MoreGlenn Jones(9b)
