Last night’s storms left the garden looking a little wild, so early this morning I’m out here cleaning up before harvesting. That’s just part of gardening—sometimes the work starts before the harvest!
Even after the wind and rain, the garden continues to provide. Today’s harvest included fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, peppers, basil, onions, and more. Every basket reminds me why I love growing my own food.
I’ll also be harvesting another Mammoth sunflower head soon. One of the easiest ways I know to check if a sunflower is ready is to open a few seeds from the head. When I see nice, plump kernels inside, I know harvest time is right around the corner.
Storms may knock things around, but it’s amazing how quickly a healthy garden bounces back.
What’s growing in your garden right now, and have you harvested anything this week?
