I’d love to say there’s some great and wonderful update to the garden, but really, it’s been a bit of a wash this year. As you know, we got a late start to the season and while some things have done well, others have struggled. We’re already having colder weather so I don’t expect as long of a growing season as years past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the tomatoes. They’ve done surprisingly well given the late planting, strong winds, and unexpected amounts of water last month. Granted, I think they might be doing well because I planted so many plants and only person eats them. So we can’t be short tomatoes, which is how I judge success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The zucchini grew lavishly until the summer heat burned them. Then we had a lot of rain and they rallied some. Now they are getting burned by the chill nights. Not quite sure ho much longer they will last. I did plant a second round. As you can see from the pictures, the success is mixed. Some are happy and some….well…not quite sure why they aren’t growing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winter squash look the same as always. Do your winter squash always look a bit bedraggled? Ours look beautiful until they start to set fruit, then they are ragged and browning and look like that for months. Every year I think they’re going to die back early and every year they hold on and keep adding fruit until nearly June. I even planted a second set and it looks like I may get fruit from those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cucumber plants that decided to germinate are happy as can be. Didn’t manage to get them to grow upwards (I missed that chance) but they are producing lots of fruit. I put up over a dozen liters of bread and butter pickles and in a few weeks will make pickle relish. Not bad for only six plants or so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The melon plants – which I had to seed twice due to ants eating the first set – and growing but I don’t expect fruit. They like it hot and all indications are for an early cold fall. But I’ll leave them be until the first frost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s early yet for planting the winter garden, but if the weather changes early I might start with fava beans and peas and see what happens. How are your gardens going? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actualizaci\u00f3n de la quinta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Me encantar\u00eda decir que hay una gran y maravillosa actualizaci\u00f3n en el la quinta, pero en realidad, ha sido un poco complicado este a\u00f1o. Como sabes, tuvimos un comienzo tard\u00edo de la temporada y, aunque algunas cosas han funcionado bien, otras han tenido problemas. Ya estamos teniendo un clima m\u00e1s fr\u00edo, as\u00ed que no espero una temporada de cultivo tan larga como en a\u00f1os anteriores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entonces, los tomates. Les ha ido sorprendentemente bien dada la siembra tard\u00eda, los fuertes vientos y las cantidades inesperadas de agua el mes pasado. Por supuesto, creo que podr\u00edan estar haci\u00e9ndolo bien porque plant\u00e9 muchas plantas y solo las come una persona. As\u00ed que no podemos quedarnos cortos de tomates, que es como juzgo el \u00e9xito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los zucchini crec\u00edan espl\u00e9ndidamente hasta que el calor del verano los quemaba. Luego llovi\u00f3 mucho y ellos se recuperaron un poco. Ahora se est\u00e1n quemando por las noches fr\u00edas. No estoy muy segura de que duren mucho m\u00e1s. Plant\u00e9 una segunda ronda. Como se puede ver en las im\u00e1genes, el \u00e9xito es mixto. Algunos son felices y otros… pozo… No estoy muy segura de por qu\u00e9 no est\u00e1n creciendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las calabazas tienen el mismo aspecto de siempre. \u00bfTu calabaza de invierno siempre se ve un poco desali\u00f1ada? Los nuestros se ven hermosos hasta que comienzan a dar frutos, luego est\u00e1n irregulares y dorados y se ven as\u00ed durante meses. Cada a\u00f1o pienso que van a morir antes de tiempo y cada a\u00f1o aguantan y siguen a\u00f1adiendo fruta hasta casi junio. Incluso plant\u00e9 un segundo conjunto y parece que puedo obtener frutos de ellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>

Las plantas de pepino que decidieron germinar est\u00e1n tan felices como puede ser. No consegu\u00ed que crecieran hacia arriba (perd\u00ed esa oportunidad) pero est\u00e1n produciendo muchos frutos. Puse m\u00e1s de una docena de litros de pepinillos de pan y mantequilla y en unas pocas semanas har\u00e9 que la salsa criolla. No est\u00e1 mal para solo seis plantas m\u00e1s o menos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Las plantas de mel\u00f3n, que tuve que sembrar dos veces debido a que las hormigas se comieron el primer conjunto, y crecen, pero no espero frutos. Les gusta el calor y todo indica que el fr\u00edo es temprano. Pero los dejar\u00e9 hasta la primera helada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Todav\u00eda es temprano para plantar el jard\u00edn de invierno, pero si el clima cambia temprano, podr\u00eda comenzar con habas y guisantes y ver qu\u00e9 sucede. \u00bfC\u00f3mo van tus quintas?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
