It was supposed to be rainy all weekend but yesterday was just overcast and today is actually quite nice. A little humid, but nice.
Because I thought it was going to rain all weekend I harvested the ginger and set the tubers out on the lawn to get washed. Since it didn't rain I washed them up as best I could and set them out to dry a bit. I'll set some aside to replant and grow more, but use the rest. I chopped some up into my saute last night.
Yesterday I did some yard work in the morning and harvested in the afternoon. I harvested some more okra, eggplant, bunching onions, yard-long beans, kale, and collards. I also thinned out some lettuce and Chinese cabbage and the thinnings are usable at this stage. The bok choy and lettuce I planted last weekend are coming up and will need their first thinning in a week or so.
Today I planted the following:
Okra - Clemson Spineless #80
Green beans - Contender (a bush type)
Watermelon - Sugar Baby
Cantaloupe - Top Mark
Squash - Kabocha
I also started the following in pots for later transplanting:
Sweet Pepper - Fushimi
Tomato - Roma VFN
Tomatillo - Purple de Milpa
The yakon tubers I potted up last week are just beginning to start growing and I should be able to transplant them into the garden in a month or so. The papaya seedling will need separating soon into individual pots.
