Green beans, onions, garlic and waiting for tomatoes and cuke Cumbres. Green beans will be on going till frost. After a month I put more seeds in my bean row and I get never ending greenbeans.
Our garlic didn't make snd my onions looked like yours. I'm switching to multiplying onions and shallots as main crop and will start onion from seed in late July or August and see how they do. I harvested collards and mustard greens. All of my brassicas hot hammered with aphids this year. First time using the soil in our raised beds. Just getting yardlong green beans. We had a rabbit, a protected turtle (not allowed to touch them or anything) a rooster and hen that got loose from a neighbors coop when a fox got into it....all of them ganged up on my garden this year! I've started canning tomatoes. I harvested some cukes and squash before they bit the dust. I'll plant them again. I'm getting peppers. My peas mildewed. Carrots, radishes and turnips didn't do squat. I've got to loosen up the soil a bit. It drains fast but its heavy. I'm putting in some peat, vermiculite and extra fine pine shavings to help it hold water and loosen it up some. Potatoes didn't do well because it got so hot so fast this year. I'm putting in another crop. Strawberries were doing great until the chickens got to digging. My rhubarb bit the dust and I don't know why. The leaves kept turning orange. Darn chickens even dug up some of my sweet potatoes. I'm planting more. It went from cool and rainy to hot overnight down here. So we put in shadecloth.
@@milliealger3539 It's got sand. The manure down here contains sand. About 1/3 of the soil mix I bought was manure. So the sand stayed at the surface and the manure washed towards the bottom.
@SandcastleDreams wow. Sounds like you have a lot going on. We have had similar issues this year as well. We had the same problem with the chickens busting in the garden. And there is always a never ending mole problem. Those things are my nemesis! Lol.
I just stumbled upon your channel and love this REAL gardening/video style. I'm in upstate NY -looks like similar growing seasons. Like a lot of people, I started gardening during covid so I'm not an expert but one thing I learned with my onions is I purchase new seeds every year. But mostly due to germination rate. However, my red onions did the same thing last year with what did germinate with old seeds (probably coincidence 🤷♀️) This year, red, white globe and purple bunching all about 3 feet and going strong. Garlic I plant late October and it's ready the beginning of July. I compost and fertilize when planting and may throw some granular fertilizer in the spring. Haven't harvested much this season yet. Another summer of wanting to turn the heat on and then the air conditioner, crazy. Happy gardening 😊
Thanks Tina, glad to have you here! Yes, I believe we have very similar growing seasons, we to have had the air and the heat on in the same day this year! Crazy! Thanks for the tips on the onions, I am definitely going to get new seed for next year, and I think I am going to try some varieties. 😀
@@GagneFarms absolutely. What's one more garden/homesteading channel. Lol. I follow so many and watch everyone I can. My last 3 years I have increased my knowledge so much through watching UA-cam.
The "baby" garlic is next years seed! Plant them in the fall for some great garlic in June or July. I have a garlic bed and when I harvest the garlic, I replant the "baby" garlic right back and just let it grow!
That sounds yummy! I wish we had more room in the garden for stuff like that. I have been thinking about fencing off a portion of the field and growing bigger stuff out there!

What kind of veggies have you harvested already this year?

@SandcastleDreams if your soil is to heavy or has a lot of clay till in some sand

I appreciate the realness of this video. I'm subscribing on that alone. Plus you guys seem like cool people. So bonus. Lol
Thank you so much! We appreciate it! 😄

I will give this a shot next fall. Thanks for the tip!
Really enjoyed watching today's video
Thanks Kevin
Here in SW Missouri my red onions did the same as yours. My “Candy” onions are doing great. Every year is different I guess.
It is, and that's what makes it so fun!
So far a few zucchini yellow squash and Patty pan which were processed into pancakes 🤤
That sounds yummy! I wish we had more room in the garden for stuff like that. I have been thinking about fencing off a portion of the field and growing bigger stuff out there!

Yeah you have a lot of green onion tops .chop and freeze them
That's a great idea. I think I'm going chop some tops right about now!
@@GagneFarms they freeze well and can be used in anything you want onion flavor. They don't look wilted or get slimy either.
Forgot you can do it with garlic tops too
I bet they would work well in chicken stock as well!
@GagneFarms I add them to all my stock types, any summer salad, and so many dishes I don't thaw them just add a handful mix and done
I subscribed. We aren't in the same zone but you are real. I like that.
