Edible Edition

I’m retiring Seedy Sunday for the year…. because most of the seedlings are now full on plants and thriving! So let’s check in on the wonderful edibles in the garden.

Here’s another look at my Laundry Basket Potato tower. Potato sprouts busting out all over the place!

And I showed you the potato comin up in the garlic onion bed…

Well – I also have this one which popped up in the middle of a pot of Sweet Peas. But… I unlike the onion bed – I never had potatoes in this one. My only theory is that an industrious squirrel dug up a missed potato and replanted it here at some point. But… you can never have too many potatoes so….we’ll let it grow!

My purple cabbages are starting to look more cabbage like.

I tossed some dill seed around them and they are starting to sprout. The dill should attract parasitic wasps which should help keep Cabbage worms in check. That’s theory anyway.

I planted two beds of snap peas this year, because I love them so much… and they are looking great.

I sent a friend home with a couple tray of lettuce, spinach and radishes on Thursday. And I still barely put dent in any of the beds. Dave is going to get sick of salad and cooked spinach very soon…. but I’m loving it! That said – any of these crops could start bolting any at any time – it’s been hotter than hades this week!

That heat is good news for the melons though! My Mini Mike (left are looking great) and my neighbour gave me a couple of his melon seedlings. I can’t remember the name, but apparently they are a mini yellow-fleshed version.

And it looks like it will be a banner year for blackberries…. maybe even enough for jam if I can get them before the birds do!

What’s delicious in your garden?

  1. Only one edible thing in my garden. I have a very tiny cherry tomato plant that I bought last week. This week it has FLOWERS!!!!

    I was looking for a basil plant, but they looked awful. Still on the hunt for that.

  2. Your plants look so healthy! My basil is already starting to bolt. I had to pinch it all off this morning. If this heat keeps up I even fear for the tomatoes. They are looking a bit stressed-as do we all.
