Two Dozen Jars


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?
