Today we also harvested the shallots, getting 60!
Not such great shots because of the partial sun. They are only in the sun for the late afternoon. Most of the day, it is a cool, shady porch, which will be just fine for drying.
I noted on one of the Sunday Strolls that I didn't think the nasturtiums would flower. Well, they did, and the plants were huge, so big in fact that they were shading the poor cucumber so we pulled them all up today. Just as well, as it was pretty soggy inside the leaves. Next year I'm thinking of putting them in a tub on the terrace.
I'm still picking yellow beans and zephyr squash almost every day. The green zucchini is less prolific, but I get a couple every few days.
I love nasturtiums. They seem to shout out, "Summertime!!"
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these - thanks for sharing the photographs. I enjoy photographing my farmers market veggies for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteNasturtiums are one of my favorite and I love putting both the leaves and flowers in salad-peppery like watercress. And every year, just when I think they won't flower, they do and go on and on until late September.
