The garden is slowly starting to produce. This week lane says she has gathered both patty pan and yellow crook neck squash. The cucumbers are coming on also. Lane says she hasn’t picked any yet but probably will in a few days. They are covered with tiny cukes. Lane is starting to harvest our garlic. So far she has pulled one short row. She has tied the garlic in bunches to dry just like her grandmother used to tie onions. She used to hang her onions in the woodshed. She tied the onions by their tops using seagrass string. Then she hung the onions from poles that were running across the middle of her woodshed. Lane is hanging the garlic tied with tomato string on clothes line using clothes pins in her greenhouse. This way the garlic can air dry without getting sunburned. So far this season we have had spinach, romaine, cabbage and sweet peas. Not bad, eh?

Good luck with your garden.
