The family was out and about this afternoon so we made a trip to the plot to do some watering and check on things.
The walking onions Wifey transplanted are coming along nicely. I've been watering them each time I go out and fertilized once shortly after they were transplanted.
As I think I've mentioned before, we have two kinds of volunteer tomatoes -- large ones and some small ones. The larger ones we think are decedents of Wifey's grandfather's variety (aka the Robbins Avenue tomatoes) that he cross-pollinated years ago and the smaller ones are from some of last year's that never would ripen. The Robbins Ave ones are developing a blush on them. The tiny ones are starting to be like they were last year -- they split and aren't turning red. In this case, the insistence to remain green seems very militant. They remain green despite having received some treatments of bone meal. I think that I really need to make use of the soil tester in the spring.
The harvest was about as I expected. It's late in the year and so the tomatoes and peppers are slowing down. We harvested our first two of the new radishes I planted about a month ago. Wifey found a stand of carrots all bunched together somewhere and pulled them as well as a few others. The remaining two boxes of beans are continuing their small resurgence. I still can't get over the change. I think it's been about a month since I first posted that I thought they were done. Nope!
The totals:
- 13.6 oz tomatoes
- 2 radishes
- 2.6 oz carrots
- .6 oz cayenne peppers
- 3.2 oz green beans
- 11 ground cherries
