A lot has been going on over the last few weeks. This past Saturday, the beet row was pulled and turned into 12 quarts of sweet beet pickle. I didn't pickle any last year and I have been out since the holidays (I always have pickled beets for Christmas dinner).
The Lima bean patch is in full bloom and it looks like a bumper crop assuming each bloom produces a pod.
The heirloom tomatoes as well as the grape and single hybrid (planted for emergency back-up) are really starting to crank out. The Romas are poised to start coming in any day now and that means in the next couple of weeks having to take a day and concentrate on making tomato juice.
I also was able to clear out the floricanes from the raspberry bed so the primocanes should have plenty of room to come in and make side shoots for next years crop. It was a bit like bailing barbed-wire, but it is nice to see the top of the mulch again.
And the peppers are doing nicely too.
