Many vegies are ready to harvest. Cukes, zucchini, some eggplants, lettuce, and greens are ready for picking. The peppers and tomatoes are are growing rapidly and deserve careful watching. If cukes and zucchs get too big, you can still use them, although you may want to slice them lengthwise and scrape out the large, tough, bitter seeds with a spoon before eating them.
This month’s “Garden Eyes,” Jody B and Marion H, will periodically running through the garden and observing what is ready to be harvested in which plots, which plots are in need of tending etc. You could also email Jody or Marion to let us know if you are away, that way, we can arrange for tending and harvests to be donated to the food pantry.
Basil, dill, greens, lettuces are also starting to flower. Once these greens begin to flower, it begins to become bitter. You can pinch the flowers off the basil and cut it back a bit, that way you can harvest it a bit longer. Dill, lettuce, and greens should be harvested fully.
