My Late June Garden – A Quick Video Tour
I thought this week instead of telling a story or discussing my garden harvest and providing a recipe, I would give a quick video tour of my late June garden.
As I watch this video, shot almost two weeks ago, I note how quickly the garden changes. Garlic has been pulled from the ground and is drying in the garage, while a succession of other vegetables has been planted in its place. Sweet, crunchy sugar snap and snow peas are finished for the season. Cabbages have all been picked, and kale and lettuce will not return until the fall. Early cilantro and dill are going to seed. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the summer’s first bounty of cucumbers and green beans, and one big batch of basil has already been harvested to make pesto, some of which was enjoyed for dinner, but most of which is frozen for future meals. Green and yellow zucchini are coming in strong, but the first tomatoes are still a few weeks away. I can’t wait for an abundance of sun-warmed summer tomatoes.
So wonderful!
Thanks Joy!
Great job in the beds and the pots. Such variety is pretty cool too.My favorite part is when you switch from the beds to the pots and hustle around the house.
Now that you have set into a permanent summer mode Max, I wish you many happy days in the garden. The bounty of the earth is great !
Thanks Tim. The speed up part was not me walking any quicker, but my video editing skills. I somehow figured out how to speed up only a portion of the video. Not bad?
Thank you for the tour of your garden beds. How do you manage to keep bugs off the beans. Everything looks as if it is thriving and things are already providing yummy summer meals. Thanks for sharing your bounty…and hard work.
Thanks for the comment and question Sue. I don’t usually have issues with bugs eating my beans. They are abundant with virtually no effort from me. Although yesterday I watched from my kitchen window as a bunny walked by munching slowly on both beans and leaves. I’m willing to share a little, but if it gets to be too much (like with the blueberries) I get frustrated.
Hi Max,
Just had a moment to watch your video. So impressive! You are a master gardener!
