How Does Your Garden Grow?
This tidy little harvest was waiting for me after a two week absence. Sugar-snap peas, green beans, swiss chard, cucumber, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers and basil. There are some duds and disappointments, but always more than enough successes to prove rewarding. It even occasionally looks like I know what I’m doing (which I don’t). In a fit of frustration, I hacked away at the Grape Tomato That Ate Carlton, pictured below. It was hogging the nutrients and choking out the edamame. I’m told that I should have left the plant alone, and that the plant won’t ripen a good crop now. I just thought it would improve quality if I dropped some fruit, the way it does in the vineyard. Live and learn!
