July 10 in the garden

Posted on by Catherine

A beautiful day, sunny and warm with a cool breeze. The garden is looking great, healthy and almost pest free- discovered our first potato beetles today and dropped them into a bucket of soapy water.

Some standouts:

Virginia Ctenucha moth visiting the gate
First baby artichoke
Lovely Salanova lettuces, Red Butter variety
King of the garden, the second year parsnips (2), for seed harvesting and pollinator attraction
The fava bean forest
Hoping to attract a pile of wood chips
