Aside from fresh produce available for harvest this time of year, we also are harvesting seeds.  Here is one Pac Choi plant gone to seed.  It was chosen because it was a volunteer plant that survived and thrived all winter long and into the early summer, indicating strength and vitality.  Linda has many brown paper bags currently hanging from the ceiling of her painting studio, drying a variety of seeds that she has recently harvested.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We're off on our ebikes to make a local delivery in Mitchell Bay.  Along with our salad greens, celery, fresh roasted pumpkin seeds, this 8 pound gorgeous cabbage was added from Slow Dog Farm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More cabbages from the "Cabbage Patch Lady" aka Slow Dog Farm, heading to the Burger Barn.  A whooping total of 49 pounds of cabbage.  Coleslaw here we come!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Our produce is also available along with Slow Dog Farm's at the Fridge on First Street, right next to the Lil' Wild Gift Shop.  We stock up the fridge on Wednesday's and Saturday's.

 The Merlot lettuce adds fantastic red colour to your salads.  It is doing really well into the summer heat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's that time of year for the St. John's Wort to blossom.  The bees go crazy for the yellow flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greenhouse #1 is just loaded with:

1) Tomatoes forming an arch in the foreground.

2) Green beans climbing the page wire on the left

3) Sweet peppers in the bed on the left and also in pots on the left

3) Basil in pots on the back

4) Melons in the bed on the right

The flagging tape is on the chicken wire to stop the birds from flying into it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a close up of those sweet peppers.  We already harvested a few - excellent in stir fry, omelettes, and tacos. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is an eggplant coming along.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks like this melon might ripen later this summer.  So sweet and juicy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The arch of yellow tomatoes are on their way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More green beans hanging on the page wire trellis.  Sweet peppers below and in pots.   We chop up and freeze the sweet peppers, which last us all winter long.

And a few red tomatoes along with a cucumber made a great garden salad to accompany black bean tacos!  Happy Summer everyone, we hope that  your gardens are flourishing!
