This weekend, little hands in Grafton direct seeded more cilantro and transplanted a variety of summer squashes and cucumbers. The tomatoes are now properly trellised, the rabbit-eaten lettuces and kales have all grown back, and the potato plants are showcasing elegant flowers. The weeds are growing nicely too, but I think we eliminated most of them. My suggestion to pull out the bolted radishes and arugula so the cilantro will have more room to grow was vetoed, however.... because they have exceptionally pretty flowers. It's true, they do. Silly me.
On an equally fun note, today as I was direct seeding greens in the rabbit-proof area of the Mequon garden, I came upon the first mature beet of the season. How exciting!
Then, since storms are in the forecast for tonight and the entire rest of the week, I decided now was the time, before everything gets all wet and mucky, to get out my digging fork and poke around investigatively in the potato patch. Good thing I did, because I found beautiful Yukon Golds.
