And planting
- A block of four beds of Supai Red parch corn.
- Four kinds of pole beans growing on the corn: Fortex, Withner, Blue Lake, and Scalzo.
- Patisson Golden Marbre Scallop summer squash. This is another one that's supposed to be good as a winter squash as well.
- Four more tomatoes.
- Another try at Candystick Delicata, in a proper plushy bed, because I grew it lean last year and it wasn't good.
- Enation-resistant snap peas in some of the half-shaded back beds, as an experiment.
- And repeats of already-planned things.
I should get a grip.
I occasionally tally up the things that can be harvested late and stored, to make myself feel less wildly irresponsible:
- The parch corn.
- Most of the beans, as dry beans.
- All of the cucurbits except for the zucchini and cucumbers.
- The potatoes.
It's a short list. I don't really feel less irresponsible. Now, the Armenian cucumbers and Costata Romanesco squash are at least harmless--they'll just sit there and turn into useless dry, hard things. The same for the peas. (For all I know the peas might even be decent dry peas, but I doubt it. I'll look them up.) My concern is all those tomatoes.
But I don't seem to be erasing anything yet.
Many of the tomatoes are dryfarm experiments, after all. So most of them could just fail. Right?
That is all.
