Food forest harvest: garlic scapes

Picked all the garlic scapes in the food forest. Planning to make pesto, and dehydrate a bunch but they keep in the fridge for a long time so we will be using them in our cooking fresh too. First up as a pizza topping for dinner tonight.

Food forest harvest: peaches. First year this peach tree has fruited!

This Flamin Fury peach seems to be an earlier variety than the other two variations we have that started fruiting last year. This tree almost died back to the ground when I planted it a few years ago and it's come back strong so I'm impressed that it is already producing.

Been picking a few ripe peaches here and there for the last few days but it seems that now is the time to harvest the majority of them. We don't do anything as far as treatments go to our fruit trees. Last season we noticed if we tried to wait until most of the peaches reached peak ripeness on the tree that we lost many to mold. This year we are trying to harvest a little early and let them ripen in the fridge.

Most of our peach trees are different variations of the flamin fury variety from a local breeder that has been working on breeding cold tolerant peaches for a couple generations. You can order them from Grandpa's Orchard Nursery.

Our peaches and apricots got a nasty frost treatment exacly at the moment when they started to bloom. So no harvest this year. 😭

Happy you have some.

We almost lost ours too, it was snowing while they were in bloom but I think the snow actually protected them from freezing off.

Is the animated swirl built into the app, or you using some type of code?

rev.hodl 2y ago

I'm not sure what you are referring to.

Oh, never mind. You have pictures. Earlier all I saw were links and animated twirling next to them 😀

Food forest harvest: garlic

Finally found time to harvest the garlic in the food forest. Experimented with some different bed preparations and had mixed results. The best method ended up being what I did last year: broadfork, add compost, broadfork, much with manure packed straw, plant.

Even though the other methods of using woodchips as mulch and only manure packed straw weren't as good, there was enough garlic planted to harvest more than last year.

I think we are going to need it with all the peppers and cucumbers growing in the garden that we will pickle. Not to mention, garden salsas and garlic powder now that we have a Bitcoin dehydrator.

Food Forest Harvest: Peaches

All three peach trees in the food forest had good fruit sets this year but the latest tree was loaded. I wanted to see what happened if I didn't thin the fruit out. Some branches broke from the all all the fruit but they won't be missed in the long run. Picking about 20 or so peaches a day until they are all picked. That way if the mold sets in I will still have plenty of peaches already even if they have to ripen off the tree. Peach DCA
