Like lots of other people this year, I’ve been spending a
bit more time in my garden than I usually do. I’m not sure the harvest will
reflect the extra effort, but it does get me out of the house. I’m rather proud
of my Japanese eggplants, which are nearly ready to pick. There was a steady
stream of strawberries and cherry tomatoes last month, but I think the heat
these past few weeks have slowed it down to a trickle. My radishes also had a
good run, but we’ve eaten the last of them. There was one gorgeous beefsteak
tomato that we turned into BLTs two weeks ago. I do hope that’s not all we get.
The carrots are ready to harvest, but the turnips and beets are not. I don’t
see a single sweet pepper, though the pepper plants look healthy enough. Onions
are this year’s big mystery. I know I planted several. Where have they all
gone?
