The chard was harvested yesterday morning, making way for the first
tomato plants. So far we have a Sun Gold (small pear shaped yellow
nuggets of sweet goodness) and a surprise plant called Sweet 100. Once
the kale is plucked from the bed I will plan three more. Next
weekend's project will be building the cages.
Jennie is here holding the last of the chard for the short 09' late winter season
It is 90 degrees in Oaktown today, so many plants are in a state of shock; lettuce in particular.
We are grilling lamb kabobs on the Kooker for supper tonight and will need to have a big salad, in addition to chard, to save the sweet leaves from perishing in this heat. Another scorcher is on tap for tomorrow. Lottie can only stretch out and nap the afternoon away....
