The greens are getting more and more plentiful. Even though the leaves are getting really large, they are tender and tasty. I picked a bunch last night and washed and stemmed them this morning. The will be delicious tonight. We will even eat them with breakfast tomorrow morning. The leftovers are a great addition to vegetable soup. The “pot likker” is a tasty and healthy drink.
The days are getting so short that there is little time to work in the yard and the garden in the evenings. These short days also affect the setting of blossoms on the tomato plants that were moved inside the greenhouse. One of the weekend chores will to be re-rig and set the lights in the greenhouse to extend day length.
I don’t have as much wood as I thought to build new raised beds. Another weekend chore will be to mulch down the bare dirt in the garden. The beds that were planned for those areas will have to wait until more wood is scrounged. The compost is building up in the finished compost holding bin. It will have to be put on a tarp and covered to prevent all the goodies from leaching out.
