Garden Update

After cutting off the pea tops and leaving the roots in the ground, I've had new peas growing!

This is my favourite part of curcubita plants! (cucs/squash)

Little baby peppers!

2 kinds of Cherry Tomatoes!

 Acorn Squash Sprouting for the winter!

Just some lovely mindfulness for today :)

Fermenting Cucumbers and Beans

With the last of my plots bush beans and the first of the cucumber glut, I decided to try fermenting again.  I pulled some dill weed from my garden, and put in it a hot water washed jar with 1/2 cup of pickling salt and some hot pepper flakes. The cucumbers I put into the jar with the salt, a few peppercorns, and more dill weed.  I filled both jars with tap water, ensuring the vegetables were covered, and then put a piece of parchment paper over top with an elastic to let it breathe a bit, but to keep the bugs out.  Let's see how these go!  The cabbage and garlic scapes are delectable!!

A Beautiful Weekend!

Today I did a whole bunch of weeding (surprisingly not as much as I anticipated considering the space I have).  I also planted a few cucumber and zucchini seedlings that my upstairs neighbour didn't have room for, and additional bean, pea, and cucumber seeds. I planted more bok choy where my spinach seeds didn't come up, sowed more mixed greens where they didn't come up (trying a method of sprinkling soil overtop of the seeds instead of raking them into the soil) and planted more beet seeds where the others had been trampled by the upstairs neighbour's dog. What a weekend full of joy!
