Garden Notes - June 30, 2011

Green onions. This was a no-brainer. I found a bag of onion sets at the local supermarket and followed the directions to plant them 1/2" apart for green onions. Full sized onions would grow with 3" spacing or more.

Butternut squash (winter squash). I will cook, mash, season and freeze these. My root cabinet works best for root veggies like onions, potatoes, carrots, garlic and leeks. I've had reasonable luck with Northern Spy apples in the root cabinet as well. When they get past their prime, I just make them into applesauce and can them.

Buttercrunch lettuce thriving. The cooler and wetter than usual June helps. Some leaves have already been picked for a salad tonight!

Verticillium Wilt attacking my pepper plants! These pepper plants are in a bed that never had infected tomatoes in it before.

Cabbage survivor from last year. This grew like a grafting to a mowed over stump!
