Plants are huge and mostly healthy except for a bad infestation of potato beetle on the fingerlings. I took a lot of photos. But still missed the herb beds and the orchard. Photos taken around 4 pm, sun already low in the West.<\/p>\n

Fence row in front. Scarlet runner beans, wild golden glow, zucchini, patty pan, Hopi sunflowers, Chinese cabbage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indigo apple tomato – really dark!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chard looking great.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Parsnips old and new. A few turnips hiding behind the big seed-bearing parsnips.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Beets at various stages. Have only harvested one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Old scallions and fava beans ready for harvest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Broccoli row. We have eaten two or three meals from it. I just cut back flowering stalks to encourage more side shoots.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A few purple cauliflower are hiding in the broccoli row.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Dazzling blue kale. should have been covered. Looking undersized.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Three sisters row, a complete jungle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
First bloom from Chuck\u2019s Mexican sunflower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Corn!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Garlic row outside back fence. Weeded today. It was getting choked with big grasses. Close to harvest, but I\u2019d like it to grow a bit longer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Some squash volunteers and an uncut scape in garlic row.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Asparagus beds taken over by squash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Corner trellis with kale, lettuces, and sad arugula patch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Peas did not do well this year, but there are a few vines in disarray still producing a few pods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Cucumber, picked my first one yesterday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
