Four Days

Four days out of town:Cucumbers, Swiss Chard and tomatoes.

I had harvested really thoroughly the night before I left and took four cucumbers up to Maine where they went into a salad.

The cucumber is producing fruit like crazy. Those six cucumbers weigh in at 4 pounds. When I came to harvest this morning, the cucumber cage was toppled over and I had to stake it to fortify. Same happened to my Brandywine cage. Looking forward to the next few weeks of fresh garden produce.

The potatoes are getting ready to be harvested, and the pole beans (that I planted late) are flowering. The bush beans are close to being done, the cucumber is still producing heavily and my three tomato plants are heavy with (for the most part still green) tomatoes. The leeks are looking great and the kale is coming up. The golden beets I sowed sadly did not germinate as did the last carrot crop.

The pinkish-white dahlias are the only ones flowering so far – I have two of those. The two red ones are taking their time.

I need to weed and clean the plot and will sow fall greens in the next couple of weeks.
