New for fall

Cleaned up a few spaces in the garden beds and threw down some peas and lettuce. I'm not too hopeful about the peas but maybe the lettuce will come through.

Back from vacation

Here is what we pulled after a week away. Unfortunately, the rat-squirrels realized my sweet corn was ready and pillaged most of it. Very sad for us (tear runs down my cheek).

Mid Summer- What to plant?

This is a quick list from the University of Minnesota Extension office of what might be planted now, in mid-summer. Oak Park is (ever-so-slightly) more temperate than Minnesota, so I think I'll be safe with the frost dates listed. I'm gonna pull up the old lettuce and lay something else in. What should it be?

Topped the Broccoli

I just cut off the terminal head of my broccoli - new shoots have already developed! See how to do it here at Veggie Harvest.

Corn is hip high and it is the 5th of July!
