I brought the squash under cover. It’s been outside curing, but I thought it should be out of the periodic rainstorms we’re getting. I’ve given away a few, eaten a few, so this isn’t the total harvest, but it’s most of it. What to do with all this!!!

Row by row scan:

Flower row with garlic bed beyond. Mostly poppies and daisies at this time, but sunflowers coming.

Three sisters row. Corn (a few stalks), squash, green beans. A few volunteer potatoes. Horseradish at one end and comfrey at the other.

Broccoli (Aspabroc and DeCicco). Started under row cover. Vulnerable to porcupines! Saved by electric fence, now harvesting. Some cabbage, I think.

Fava bean row, plus some Dazzling Blue Kale and volunteer wild arugula from last year.

Parsnips, first and second year. Turnips. Beets. And a patch of broccoli rabe bolting. Will replace with some carrots.

Mixed greens row. Chard, radicchio, ruby red orach, Salanova lettuce, escarole, some volunteer dill, baby Turkish rocket, and some room for succession planting.

Soybeans just flowering, fingerling potatoes, carrots. Artichoke at the end of this row and three others.

Tomato row. Plus one marigold at the top.

Fence row – scarlet runner beans (not shown), rudbeckia perennial, zucchini, patty pan squash, Hopi black sunflowers, Chinese cabbage.

Lettuces under the corner trellis. Also visible – a few cucumbers starting to climb.
