I apologize to my blog readers - my efforts have been elsewhere. Our nuptials are quickly creeping up on Snow Meadow Farm and there has been a lot to do around the farm in preparation. I haven't neglected my gardens at all!
You should see the pumpkins. They are going from green to orange and I can count nine of them. The one variety that grows orange is getting so big, I might have to enroll in a fair contest.
We started to enjoy tomatoes and I am not sure how many more green beans we can eat. I have a drawer in the 'fridge filled with cucumbers and I am going to attempt to get dill today at the Farmer's Marker - wish me luck!
We have potatoes! Red potatoes. The gold didn't really work out. So far we have made oven roasted potatoes and potato salad with our harvest. One row has already been removed and I planted parsnips to be dug next spring. Once my nephew comes out to the farm to help me dig out the remaining two rows of potatoes, I will prepare the rows for garlic. I plan on planting a crap-load of garlic as we use it so often. The garlic doesn't go into the ground until October, but I will have the beds prepared and ready. Conveniently located next to the parsnips for easy location after the snow melt.
In other news, the zucchini has slowed down - PHEW! I get one or two a week now. Much more manageable. The celery isn't doing as awesome as I thought it was on track to do but I haven't given up on it.
Again, I apologize for my absence.
Happy EATING! 'TIS THE SEASON!!!!
