I shouldn’t have crowed so loudly last time about how the garden was doing so well without any human intervention… Shortly thereafter I had to pull out a number of plants that we’re trampled by Jack and one of his relatives that we were watching. That big empty patch? That is where my spinach, cabbage, and cauliflower used to be. I also lost heads of bok choy. You can’t see it in the pictures but I ended up pulling out all of the lettuce as well. Nothing seemed to deter the slugs this winter and the lettuce took the brunt of their assault.
What is left to harvest? Celery, kale, bok choy, arugula, and carrots. I’d have to say the most successful of those has been the arugula. I’ve got more than enough of the greens for salads, pestos, chips, soups, etc. I haven’t pulled any carrots yet because they just now seem to be spurting up and I want to make sure the carrots are longer than my fingers before I pull them.
D has planted some seeds in the now open space. I believe it was cabbage, lettuce, carrots, and more arugula. It is late in the season and I don’t know if any of them will come in before we have to pull the garden and start planting spring crops…
