Between weeding, harvesting, washing, packaging, my other job and other commitments there seems to be very little extra time in the days. And yet things progress in the garden. Several of the crops are now starting to flower or fruit and if everything continues to grow it could be a bountiful August. In fact harvesting may become an issue and I’m already thinking of ways to harvest and sell produce on another day of the week (my other day job prevents me from going to the other markets during the week).
Eggplants have started to flower and some plants even have small fruits forming. I’ve got three different varieties on the go; the classic Dusky and the new varieties Hansel and Gretel. Gretel’s are supposed to be white egg looking fruits, I’ll be interested in seeing them.
Although he wasn’t a huge fan of me taking pictures this is my great Uncle George who came out and helped do some weeding last week (which as you can see I could use). The row of beans he weeded is the cleanest section in the entire garden, and remains so since he picked out all the purslane and dug up and pulled all the quack grass roots.
