June 21st Harvest

Just a quick list of what I got today--
  • garlic scapes: 4.3 oz 
    • Zut alors! I have missed one!... or ten.
  • black raspberries: 5.2 oz
    • Unlike blackberries, black raspberries are non-native to North America, but are growing like mad in various parts of the property around the garden. Black raspberries are a similar color to blackberries, but are smaller- much like raspberries. We double-checked with our landlord that we could harvest these berries and he told us "Good luck getting to them before the squirrels."
  • (mostly) admiral peas: 2 lbs 4 oz
    • It has been super hot for a couple days and the pea plants are trying their hardest to send their pods out before they wither and die. We are trying to harvest these pods before the slugs eat them all. All in all, the admiral peas did (and are doing) vastly better than our other pea varieties. Not bad for a cover crop!
Happy growing! <3
