It's incredible how time flies. It feels like days ago that Andrew and I were starting seedlings in the greenhouse, and now the garden is producing pounds and pounds of harvest each day. Currently, tomatoes and cucumbers are our main crops. We've already harvested over 20 pounds of assorted cherry tomatoes. They are delicious on salads, pesto pasta, or straight off the vine.
Our cucumber plants have sprawled everywhere! Originally planted on a 2 feet wide bed (without trellising--probably a mistake on our part..) the cucumbers have sprawled over onto an adjacent bed. They've produced so much fruit in the last couple weeks--we've saved some to pickle this weekend.
Our eggplant took a while to bear fruit, but they're finally here. We began harvesting them about a week ago. We've planted Dusky Eggplant--a round bulbous type--and Little Fingers--a long slender variety. Both are delicious.
This is our broccoli. The little suckers have not emerged yet. But they're looking quite big and robust, hence the photo update.
The garden as it stands today--the vertical shoots on the second row from the right are onions, which are just about ready to be harvested.
Sunflowers on Hope Street.....More photos coming soon.
We hope everyone is having a great summer. We're doing well in Providence, and are excited to see people back on campus and at the garden in a couple weeks.
Until then, take care.
Lolly + Andrew
