One of our broccoli plants made a nice head that needed to be picked, and so we did that today.
Out of four plants, only one has produced a head. So soup is in our immediate future. Moosewood has a great recipe for just this purpose.
The soup recipe also calls for a green pepper and it just so happens that one of our pepper plants has made one.
If you don't pay attention to a zucchini plant, in three days a small six inch long zucchini becomes a fat 14 inch long zucchini.
So I guess I will be making zucchini bread today, as well as soup. The garden waits for nobody. Yesterday we went to the orchard and brought home some peaches, and a peach cobbler is on the ‘things to do today’ list.
Carrots, Swiss Chard, Kale, and small bunching onions are all looking very cheerful. The chard leaves are starting to get large, but still so mild tasting.
Finally some ripening cherry tomatoes. The larger varieties are still just green.
Cucumbers are getting sizeable, and soon I'll have enough to make a decent batch of pickles with the family pickle recipe. That will be fun. This one plants has 17 cucumbers on it which are almost all this size. A week and a half ago, they were an inch long and we were doubtful they would grow.
The overnight temperatures are getting cooler, 36F and 41F the last two days, and so we moved some of our herb plants inside on the kitchen windowsill.
