Turnip greens, potatoes, tomatoes from the garden for dinner

The jars contain the dried figs that I picked and dehydrated yesterday. So many figs I dried fit into four tiny jars. I ended up eating lots of the figs as they were drying. The fresh figs taste like strawberry jam, while the dried figs taste like dried blueberries.

So many figs that I have to dehydrate them

Sowing cold hardy veggies for fall garden + BIG FIG & potato harvest

Today I cleaned up the hugelkultur garden, using the weeds as mulch between the walkways. With wood, I framed the hugelkultur mounds to contain the compost.

After cleaning the mounds and adding the wood around the mounds, I then reused the compost from the potato grow bags to put on the mounds. I had a small potato harvest.

Then I sowed Buttercrunch and Black seeded Simpson lettuce, cauliflower, purple top turnip, nantes carrot, spinach, chives, garlic chives, and broccoli seed within the mounds.
