Freedom Gardening and Foraging

The Garden Facing northwest. Up front are the gourds...pumpkin, squash and zucchini. To the left there is a branch from the Valiant grape (that is attached to the outside of the greenhouse) sticking out over the asparagus. There are a couple amaranth in the back left. Straight up the path at the back is a Haskap bush, with a matching one to the right of it. To the very right of the picture is a Saskatoon bush. There is dill visible spread out all over the garden. And then we have tomatoes and beans planted all over this plot too. #harvest25

Peach Harvest

Managed to get seven small peaches from my peach tree this year. Some went to the squirrels, birds and insects, but I'm used to paying a nature tax. Honestly, seven peaches feels like an abundance after years of waiting for the tree to mature enough to really even produce fruit. Obviously, pictured are only two peaches, but that is because my kiddo got into them and made them disappear.

Garden Surprises

Not every seed will sprout. It's just the way it is. I can't seem to grow sunflowers to save my life because something is always eating them. If not the seeds, the sprouts, if not the sprouts, the stems, and if not the stems and I actually grow a flower, something eats those...See more

Cross Pollination This is a yellow squash and zucchini. Fried it up for dinner last night and it was tasty.

Just a Couple Tomatoes

I really do always over plant tomatoes. There are definitely worse things.

Canning

Well, couldn't eat the tomatoes harvest fast enough, so canned some yesterday.

4.25 kilograms of Romeo Cherries and 1.5 kilograms of Black Currants. #harvest25

Figs

Have I mentioned I have a whole collection of fig varieties at various stages of maturity? This is my big momma Chicago Hardy Fig. She's given me a lot of fruit and a lot of new fig plants, as I routinely take cuttings in the autumn to give away. I have another... hmmm.... um,...See more

Garlic Harvest This is about 1/3 of the harvest. I haven't counted them but it is 100+. Their heads are a bit smaller this year on average and we lost a few to some rodents. #harvest25

Romeo Harvest Started harvesting the cherries today...got 2 L. I think this is about 1/4 of them. #harvest25
