Garden Report for 2021, part 2

    As June turned to July, the vegetable roots began to take hold and the tops started to grow a bit more. The beans were doing quite well. Below, the dry bean rows are at the left, starting to bloom, while four snap bean rows, planted a couple of weeks before the dry beans, are much fuller, with bean pods beginning to grow out.

Eleven bean rows, July 16.

The upper part of the vegetable garden was also doing quite well. Two rows of potatoes are at left, followed (L-R) by a row of kohlrabi and broccoli, a row of red onions, a row of kale and cabbage, and a row of tomatoes, only one of which was staked at that time.

Finally, a view of the row of Asian greens (flea beetle damage is visible) at left, and a row of lettuce and parsley at the right. Typical stony soil in New England here; each year a fresh crop comes up!
