Guided Work Party - June 12th

Last of the heat loving summer veggies were planted today (basil, hot peppers, and eggplant).

Mini cucumbers (green apple, west India burr gherkin and cucamelon) were planted up the vertical garden on the side of the shed.

Garlic scapes on our porcelain garlic were ready to harvest today and a few early spring garlic bulbs were harvested for a sneak peak. They are still small, but should be ready in another 2 weeks.
