I made it to the plot for a bit this evening. Between a need to harvest after a few days and the need to start preparing for fall planting, it was really necessary. I'm still trying to sort out everything I want to do for fall planting, but I know I want to transplant some of the Egyptian Walking Onions and Wifey has some shallots she purchased at a farmers market. She said that the small amount she purchased was only 50 cents, surprisingly. As a result, I planned ahead and had a contractor trash bag for the contents of the sunflower box and the smaller flower box with the Cosmos and Nasturtiums in it.
It was pretty neat (although not shocking) to see a decent sized (approx 5" long) Praying Mantis as I was clearing out the flower box. I enjoyed watching it do its thing for a few minutes before it went on its way looking for a new home and I resumed clearing out the boxes.
The harvest was about as good as could be expected given it's toward the end of the summer growing season. At least the tomatoes are continuing their resurgence.
The tally:
- 1 lb 12.4 oz tomatoes
- 0.7 oz cayenne peppers
- A bunch of ground cherries
- One 3" long carrot
- One green bean
