Kate canned carrots and beets yesterday.\u00a0 She also made a wonderful meal with a tomato and cucumber salad, cooked greens and carrots, all from our garden.\u00a0 Turkey breast was \"IMAG0651\"<\/a>the protein.\u00a0 It was colorful, fresh and tasted amazing.\u00a0 It\u2019s very satisfying to eat produce you\u2019ve grown yourself.\u00a0 As Kate said, \u201cIt\u2019s hyperlocal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Asiatic lilies have one last representative, a beautiful white with red interior, all the rest have dropped their blooms.\u00a0 Now it is the time of the daylilies, the wisteria, the clematis and the liguria.\u00a0 This is also the peak time of year for bugbane, a shade lover that produces a flower with a sweet, ethereal fragrance.\u00a0 The hosta, the ferns, the pachysandra, lilies of the valley and the monkshood all provide green backdrop.\u00a0 The monkshood and the asters will begin to bloom later in the month.<\/p>\n

Our raspberries have begun to produce, too.\u00a0 Over the next few weeks it will be raspberries, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, peppers followed by leeks and the fall crop of beets and carrots.\u00a0 Kate just told me that our pear crop, which has to ripen off the tree, is mature.\u00a0 That means she has to do something with it right away.\u00a0 Today.<\/p>\n

No harvesting of the remaining greens right now.<\/p>\n

This is the payoff for the work begun in late April.\u00a0 Worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
