BTKW Chef's Garden 2009 Update

Picking cucumbers on a beautiful morning

The harvest continues! Everything is doing well except for the bush beans, beets, and fennel; all of which succumbed to the well-fed rabbits! They are smarter than they look! I did get some of these vegetables, but they were underdeveloped due to constantly having their leaves eaten. Such is life!

The corn has come in, sweet and tender. The pickling cucumbers are also abundant. I have already made one batch of Refrigerator Kosher Dill Pickles. I will share the recipe soon. Herbs are still abundant. The cilantro is going to seed, and is providing me with intensely flavorful green coriander. Squashes are starting to come in, and the tomatoes are FINALLY heavy with fruit. I should be up to my eyeballs in tomatoes in the next 2 weeks! Tomato canning in my near future! Peppers are still small, but coming around. Better luck next year.
