title: First Harvest

While I was away over the weekend, the garden decided it was time to harvest. Everything waited for me to get back, though the broccoli did open a bit. Last night I blanched and froze three quarts of snow peas and eight quarts of broccoli. The rutabegas are beggin' to be pulled, too. It may have warmed up too much for the cauliflower, as they're not forming heads yet. It's been really hot, nearly ninety, and extremely dry this month. The summer seeds are sprouting much more slowly than they ought to.
