Beans, Raspberries and Salal a Plenty
Luscious French filet green bush beans steamed in salted water eaten fresh out of the pan are the latest offerings from the garden.
The Kamut is standing tall and breezy in it's blue-green splendour while at its feet are mustard greens, so spicy in our wild salad mix.
Nettles are drying on the outdoor racks; wild trailing blackberry and raspberry, too. The garlic is curing and the raspberries are plump and sweet. We need to harvest them and the salal berries every day.
We are most thankful that Shane, our New Zealand friend and gardener is back to work on clearing the heavy bush and berming it against the fences. Touring the garden, the farm manager shared her plans for the continued permaculturing of the property with more goji, blueberry, red and white currants and sea buckthorn being planted. Shane cleared a whole new pocket garden that will be warmed by the sun between a small rock valley. We are composting and mulching as fast as we can to fill it in with rich soil.
It's very dry here now and the deep mulch means success for the young and old seedlings that are dry farmed.
Late snap peas are tasty and just about ready.
Out I go to harvest more fingerling potatoes.
