Did I just catch you thinking negative thoughts about yourself? Put ‘em out to pasture! Ewe are strong. Ewe are capable. Ewe can get through whatever hardships life throws your way. — Juliet Here’s What’s Happening At Good Spirits Farm The veggies are coming faster than I can eat them! Our first summer squash showed up this week, and a full-on cucumber assault is about to happen—there are so many tiny cukes on the vines! Of course, not everything is a win. Two things are really struggling this year: Our eggplants (they are always hard for us!), and the green beans, which usually do well. Basically, I started the beans too late, and the vines were spindly when the bean beetles showed up. If the plants are vigorous, they can hold off the munching of bean beetles, but they were just too small this year. Argh!
Our green beans got snacked on by the deer, but we’ve had summer squash for a month. A lot of it. Eggplants do well for me!! They are kindly coming in 1-2 per week which is exactly how many we can eat. I have way too many collards so I’m going to try pickling them??? Apparently it can be done I’m just not sure what to do with them once I do. Haha.
