garden, eggplant

with the cool weather we had several weeks ago and now that it’s warmer, the eggplant seedlings that were in the garden started to come alive. Hopefully the pleasant weather will continue long enough to harvest the eggplant. The tomatoes have about finished and I have cut them back, the tomato harvest was not as good as previous years as there was tomato blight going around. Also I should start the seedings sooner and I have to make a warmer green house style enclosure indoors this winter.

Raspberry Update

We have harvested  many raspberries and they continue to flourish. Frozen raspberries, raspberries syrup, raspberry jam, raspberry sorbet,

raspberry smoothies are just some of the uses I have used them for. New stalks have grown that will be the next year’s raspberries producers and they continue to spread across the garden.

raspberries update

Though this picture doesn’t due justice, the raspberries are starting to ripen. The tomato plants have also grown quite a bit. I actually picked a small amount of raspberries today.

with all the rain, the garden got a good watering.
