I weeded the garden and filled a large trash bin to the brim, and I mean large. Included in that, were the bean plants I started in mid May. I pulled those plants and picked the remaining beans. I ended up with approximately 15 oz.
Now I have an empty space in the raised bed and I need to think about what I will plant in that area next. I am thinking of beets and lettuce for fall.
I also planted more basil seed just to see if I get another round of it. The basil I have needs to be picked and the next step is to make pesto. Pesto freezes well and I try to make enough to get us through the winter.
Think about doing carrot seed mat and growing that in the raised bed. I did this last summer and it worked great for winter harvest. I kept a wet beach towell on them to get them to germinate. Google it, it works!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tami for the suggestion. I have purchased carrot seed for fall planting. Love the beach towel idea.

That's on my to-do list for today as well.
