It seems that every year one crop will be extremely successful in our garden, and one crop will fail.

I had high hopes for our onion crop this year as I had many seedlings.  But, the onions are so small.  I just put 24 that had barely bulbed in the pot for dinner for three of us. Other years, the same variety onions have been huge.  I don’t even know what we did differently.  Perhaps we need to enrich our soil more or plant the seedlings earlier.  I watered every five to seven days (depending on the heat.)  Did I water them for too long a time?  Did the heat of this summer stunt their growth?  I am interested in hearing from a real expert.

Now for our biggest success–yes, the cantaloupe.  We have harvested most of the melons planted in bare dirt and are harvesting the 2nd generation from the plants where we covered the dirt with clear plastic.  This year has also been great for our pepper plants.  Many are turning red now and we won’t be able to eat them all–so I will be freezing them.  Frozen peppers are great in any dish that you cook.  They don’t need to be blanched–just wash, trim, take out the seeds and freeze in ziplock freezer bags. Some I will slice or dice, others I leave in halves.

The apples and pears seem to be coming on early this year.  We are already picking some Jonathan and Honey Crisp apples.  The pears are turning from green to yellow-green and are ready to be harvested and ripened in our cellar.
