Last night's harvest from our early July garden was modest - the radishes were cleaned and put into the refrigerator awaiting their place in a salad or a batch of radish relish this weekend and the rhubarb frozen for its use in strawberry rhubarb jam, pie or delectable rhubarb bars.
The stalks on the very left are only about eight inches long. To be healthy, rhubarb should be split and separated, ours did not get moved or separated this spring. Tomorrow night's farm task is mowing the location for the new rhubarb patch and putting down weed suppression in preparation to move the rhubarb this fall.
I spend far too much time weeding. Better bed preparation results in better yields. Valuable lesson learned.
