The season is picking up with more stuff. It was great to see fresh carrots, broccoli, onions, herbs, greens (of all kinds), and much more last Saturday.

There will probably be strawberries for a short time yet, the season is winding down tho.

Raspberries are beginning to come in with blueberries not too far off.

Oh… And I mustn’t forget the new potatoes, they are arriving. And… There are still peas to be found for new potatoes and creamed peas. Yum!

Here are a few pictures from Saturday:

It’s been a challenging growing season with cool weather and not much rain. The rain showers on Tuesday brought much needed rain. Hopefully the rest of the growing season will bring enough warm weather and timely rains.

Here’s a picture from a week ago showing one of my veggie patches with the sprinklers going:

Kents Veggies

This veggie patch has: Glads, Tomatoes, Onions, Kohlrabi, Radishes, Shallots, and Beets.

The cool weather has gotten things off to a slow start. Things are beginning to pick up a bit with lots of fresh greens coming in. Peas and strawberries are starting too.

There is a good selection of jams and jellies. Honey and Maple syrup are available pretty much all season long.

Homemade baked goods and locally processed meats are good and tasty to eat.

There should be quite a few more things coming in, now that the growing season is really getting underway.
