40 more heads of garlic to go with the 89 previous.  IF I can figure out long term storage - we might add garlic to the sustainability list.  We made it with squash in 2011-12.  Ate (and made chutney) with the last of the winter squash in June, just before the first summer squash arrived. I replanted root vegetables in the garlic bed.  We have a good 45 plus days of growing season left, and I made the mistake of planting the turnips too soon.  Says they taste better after a frost. The ones now are so strong tasting.  I roasted some to eat - not bad mixed with other things in a tortilla, but Sara will make soup out of the rest.

Also picked more green beans. The pole beans are coming and are long and straight compared with the bush beans.  They are beautiful climbing up the center fence that used to be the border (before the latest expansion).

Also getting cucumbers and the cherry and grape tomatoes are starting.

Made zucchini muffins (w/ walnuts and craisins) and a zucchini chocolate cake.  Still had 2-3 cup each bags to put in the freezer from that one squash that grew too large while we were in Portland. The yellow squash have been good to eat grilled.





Sara continues to work on the outside paths (getting weeds out and putting wood chips in).  I am putting in corner posts!  July 2012 was a great month for Nammah!

AND...she found Hazelnuts in the woods!
