Backyard Notes

June is an in-between month. The cool climate crops peter out about mid-month, however the summer time veggies aren’t fairly prepared to reap but. I believe the greenhouse would be the treatment for this. If I get my summer time veggies began a few month sooner than direct sowing, we’ll be having fun with the produce because the spring crops go to seed.

Of fruit, we’re nonetheless getting a couple of strawberries each couple of days and the raspberries are producing.

Last year we got quite a few mulberries from our younger tree, however this 12 months it produced only a few berries and people few disappeared. Probably eaten by birds. I had hoped they’d fill the hole between strawberries (largely Might) and blueberries (normally July). As a substitute, we bought a cheerful shock of early blueberries.
