Beltane Summer Moon
The last day of Beltane. The growing season comes reliably during Beltane, if not by the more ancient date of May 1. We’ve had a weird Beltane this year with rains and more rains. Wet. Drought out. Water in. I’m not unhappy with the amount of wet yet since no fungus or other wet related diseases have shown up.
The peppers still look a bit peaked, but I anticipate both they and the tomatoes will pick up once the heat starts to come in earnest. The garlic has thrown up scapes, so we’ll have a nice dish with garlic scapes and greens, the first harvest of the new gardening year. Some strawberries, too. They dot the ground and the raised bed with their bright red.
