Harvest Monday, August 5, 2013.

Finally harvested garlic this week.  They weren't as big a bulb as last year or before last year.  Not sure if additional fertilizer is required while planting for them to size up.  Most of them were medium sized.  Not bad, but they could have been larger.  They were planted in full compost soil and nothing else was added.

Also harvested whatever onions that were stored last year and planted in spring.  Nothing to brag about.  Rest of the harvest as usual - beans, banana peppers, green chili peppers, the first zucchini of the season.

For comparison - with a golf ball.  That is one of the biggest.  Next to it is smallest.

If you were wondering, how I got spinach in summer, this is what I do...

I clip leaves from the already seeding plants, one at a time :)

 

Green beans, chili peppers, large peppers (mild) like banana peppers, except they're green and larger!
