Here's a photograph of today's harvest (taken past times me, non Adam; you lot tin nation past times the wretched focus in addition to primitive lighting):
The garden is winding downward in addition to I'm gradually doing my autumn harvest. From left to right, Yukon Gold potatoes, Delicata squash, Blue Lake in addition to Helda pole beans, in addition to assorted tomatoes.
I planted my Yukon Golds likewise belatedly inwards the flavour (end of June) in addition to therefore my yields are mediocre. Still, I'll in all probability care to instruct 15-20 lbs from that bed. Potatoes are fun to grow, in addition to they create good hither inwards the cool maritime Northwest.
The Delicata wintertime mash did fairly well. All told, I'll cease upwardly harvesting 16, 1-2 lb squash. We're fairly express inwards the varieties of mash nosotros tin grow hither due to the cool growing season, precisely Delicatas tend to create good because they're an early on maturing C. pepo variety. They also sense of savor great. If anyone else has a wintertime mash diverseness they've had luck amongst inwards the maritime Northwest, delight percentage inwards the comments. Also, I'm interested to listen readers' opinions on my yield. Each institute yielded betwixt iii in addition to v mash (4 average). I receive got no thought if that's a practiced yield or not-- I suspect it's on the depression side. Thoughts?
My pole beans are inwards the middle of an impressive 2nd flush. The Helda romano-type beans are vigorous growers in addition to yield beans before inwards the flavour than the Blue Lake variety, despite existence a larger pod. The Heldas receive got performed admirably, in addition to they sense of savor great, precisely aught beats the flavor in addition to texture of fresh picked Blue Lake pole beans. They receive got a super tender, sugariness beany-ness that far surpasses anything I've e'er gotten from the grocery shop or fifty-fifty the farmer's market. I similar to boil them for almost 2 minutes, drain the H2O in addition to toss them amongst olive oil, tabular array salt in addition to freshly footing dark pepper.
I'm inwards the procedure of "putting my garden to bed" for the winter. That way planting comprehend crops (winter rye, crimson clover in addition to hairy vetch) in addition to preparing the beds for a practiced Interbay mulch! The Interbay mulch technique was invented hither inwards Seattle, in addition to is done past times placing organic thing direct on the garden beds, roofing amongst burlap, in addition to allowing it to compost all winter. In the spring, hypothetically, you lot cease upwardly amongst a beautiful fluffy bed, sum of organic matter, nutrients in addition to earthworms. It also helps suppress weeds. I'm trying a twist on the technique: I planted comprehend crops early, in addition to I'll endure cutting them downward in addition to incorporating them into the mulch at the cease of October. I'm trying it for the starting fourth dimension time this twelvemonth because my beds necessitate to a greater extent than organic matter. We'll come across how it goes, precisely I'm expecting an epic flavour adjacent year...
In the meantime, I'll endure saving a packet on greens this wintertime because I planted winter-hardy collards, kale in addition to arugula. These are closed to of the best coin savers hither inwards the maritime Northwest because they grow similar weeds. Every fourth dimension nosotros purchase a bunch of organic greens at the store, nosotros pay $2.50 or $3.00 for it, in addition to nosotros swallow a lot of greens. Over the course of didactics of the year, nosotros salve at to the lowest degree $100 inwards greens alone. The greens that come upwardly from my garden also sense of savor improve than what nosotros instruct at the store.
