Yesterday(Friday) I had the pleasure to speak with Paul Banner of Banner Nurseries. This is a third generation nursery family and Paul knows his stuff. I had plans to propagate some mulberry plants this fall. He said “Do it now.” Take the new growth at the end of the branches, dip it in Rootone. Stick it in a good potting mix and keep it in the shade. I will do it this weekend.
The corn has started to stand back up a little bit. We are supposed to have more thunderstorms this weekend, so I hope it doesn’t get smashed again. The first yellow crookneck squash will be picked tomorrow or Sunday. There are zucchini as big as a pinky finger. Squash and onions, here we come. There are still no little tomatoes, just blossoms. The plants are beautiful; but eating is better than looking.
Mesclun is producing faster than we can eat it or give it away. It will probably not freeze well, so we will have to eat more salads. The cucumbers have blossoms and will soon have cukes. We will have everything except the home-grown tomatoes.
