So it has been a few days/weeks since I blogged and a lot has happened in the garden. I have taken in about 36 cucumbers, 4 very good sized zucchinis and 4 yellow squash. I also harvested lots of lettuce and cabbage.
The level is 18″.
I made strawberry jam and zucchini muffins. We have also been busy at the local winery bottling wine. So overall the harvest is turning out well. I also staked my tomatoes and today I started relocating my onions and leeks. I finally decided to separate them. After I planted them from the cello cups I found out that they were supposed to be separated. I couldn’t be bothered, but then I planted some onion bulbs and decided that I should separate them. They were pretty easy to separate with a little tugging. Unfortunately I could use more space so things are getting crowded and I planted the onions and leeks wherever I had space.
I made three types of strawberry jam using three different pectins. The light one is strawberry rhubarb with no sugar pectin. I see when I turn it on its side that it is a bit runny. Oh well the other two are fine. The dark one is just strawberries (full sugar) and the medium one is strawberry rhubarb pineapple (half sugar).
