Food from the Garden
The garden harvest continues! Some of the hot peppers are ripening, and the zucchini's producing as well. The first ground cherries are ripening, and fruit has set on all the tomatillos as well (a month earlier than in past years!). I think the garlic is close to being ready too. (Other Boston gardeners with garlic, is it time to dig it up now, or do I need to wait longer? I planted it last fall.) The tomatoes are coming along, but it looks like several weeks before anything's ripe; I didn't grow cherry tomatoes this year, so no early tomatoes for me. The winter squashes are vining everywhere, and the Mystery Squash in front has white flowers and might actually be a birdhouse gourd. No fruit on it yet, but the flowers sure are pretty! Oh, and the okra has been loving the hot weather we've been having the past few weeks. The proto-okra pods that have formed have usually died after the flower blooms, but there are a couple out there that might be getting past that initial stage.
