Indy tire change!
While Ruthy started the blanch and freeze of the first 36 Broccoli i pulled the spent plants and replanted the next 36! As a “square ft. Gardner i gave up on “recommended proper spacing” a long time ago.
In a 3 X 6 ft. Section of one bed i plant 18 holes with two plants in a hole and they make just fine. I’ve got the timing down pretty good as to when to start and so forth.
It’s frantic for a couple days, twice a season but after that we’ll appreciate this once the snow fly’s!

Just finished our Sockeye dip netting season and took 35 of these glistening beauties along the way. Of course all the "leavings" went into the Hydroslate drum and will eventually end up on something around here.

Raspberries doing well this year. I pick this many every other day and when i look at where i’ve been it doesn’t look like i’ve picked them! Of course im only going for the easy, cleanest berry’s too.

All the Comfrey is cut and hung in the barn to dry. When i set up to grind compost; ill run the shocks of Comfrey thru the hammer mill too. Ground id expect this much will fit in a 50lb feed sack and with an NPK value higher than most Manure; it will be added to the amendment schedule in the spring!

This is the first year for the new patch and if it’s anything like the other 3 dozen plants on the property, i’ll be able to cut it at least twice each year!! And once all that seed drops it will be wall to wall, no more rows.

The skruntched up picture is a pano.

Caution!! This could happen if you plant a Cherry tree!

Two trays per picking, probably a couple more pickings left on tree. Pitted and frozen then bagged.

The Raspberries keep coming too, at this point we’re at 7 gallons in the freezer, probably go for another couple gallons before turning the neighborhood kids loose on them!

Do you just snack on the cherries and raspberries or do you make recipes with them?
