The End of June

The end of June is fast approaching.  The garden is doing well.  Some things are starting to take off and some are coming to an end.  Today,  I pulled all the lettuce out of the garden box.  The Romaine, Simpson and Freckles lettuce are all out.  Most had gone to seed.  There were two plants that hadn't, so harvested both.  They are washed and are drying right now.  Miss 38th Street and I will have a nice salad for lunch!

Now I have to decide what I'm putting in these empty spots in the garden.  A couple weekends ago, I pulled all the spinach out.  It had all gone to seed.  In it's place, I added a Valencia Tomato, and three Serano Peppers.  Although, I did put the Seranos next to the Bell Peppers.  We might have some hot Bell Peppers.  That happened to us last year when I didn't put enough space between the Anaheims and the hot peppers.  The later rounds of he Anaheims were HOT!  Well see.

I'm thinking Cabbage, Kale and more Lettuce and some Baby Spinach.

Oh,  if anyone has some experience with Garlic, let me know what you think.  My Garlic has gone to seed and it look about ready to harvest.  I had someone tell me I couldn't use the Garlic after it had gone to seed.  Then I read something on the interawebworldwide that you should let it go to seed.  I did see where I messed up, in that you should stop watering the Garlic a couple weeks before you dig it up.  Whoops.  We're going to dig some of it up tomorrow.  See what it looks like.  I pulled one up a couple weeks ago, and it was surprisingly small.  I hope the Garlic is still good.  I've heard that home grown Garlic tastes better than the store bought.  If the Garlic is not edible, then I might turn into this:

Or maybe I'll just be Vincent Vega.

Ha!  Keep it 38th Street!
