Garden 2025
My garden summary for 2025.
Squash were a big success, in particular the spaghetti squash of which I have plenty to share. Pie pumpkins were plentiful too. I added a pine board to the south window sill to make it wider and then used it to ripen my pumpkins.
The first successful crop was my asparagus but I hesitated to harvest too much of it since it was only last spring that I raised them into higher ground, At that time they were drowning from the spring thaw and the lower roots were still in ice so I had to cut them off. Asparagus ferns in the fall:
My next success was garlic, even though it could have used more water which would have resulted in bigger bulbs. From this year's harvest I'm saving the biggest bulbs to plant for a great crop next year.
Peas were great, as were yellow beans but the green beans kept getting cut off as soon as they sprouted. Beets were better than the last two years but still not extremely successful. I'll try again next year as beets are an important crop for keeping my chickens healthy all winter. I harvested three butternut squash, but they are huge, and are currently ripening in my south window.
