The garden’s well and truly looking summer-y. We’re up to here in chard, all manner of summer squash and cukes — but instead of these high-producers, I’m sending along some snapshots of some of the veggies that are still in the I.O.U. stage.
First up, sweet peppers: we grow these from seed in the greenhouse — they love the heat and we love the long growing season available in there. This particular plant’s one of several bells growing in small-ish containers, as the greenhouse bed is full of hot peppers this year.
There’s winter squash (butternut & sweetmeat) growing in an open area we’ve spent several seasons reconditioning. Five years ago the space was a jungle of pine stumps, holly and a monster hedge. Ooodles of mulch, homegrown compost and a rotation of cover crops is slowly producing something that’s starting to resemble soil.
