10 pounds of Nanking cherries Amelia picked this morning. Each one has a seed that we feel we must spit out. For lunch, we ate a "boil" of new potatoes, sugar snap peas and broccoli with no butter. On the side we had garlic and Hakurei turnips pan fried. For dessert we ate these cherries with sweetened cottage cheese. Dessert was very labor intensive and took us a long time to eat because we had to count the cherries in each bite and take that same number of seeds out of our mouths before we took a new bite. It was just funny!
Yesterday I planted okra and crowder peas under black mesh. Today I planted watermelon, Seminole pumpkins and six kinds of melons and cantaloupe under black mesh....all to keep from having to weed. Last year, the weeds got ahead of me and were out of control. Not again! I also planted edamame and zinnias yesterday. Next will be second corn and 2nd green beans. After that will be fall seedlings in the greenhouse in late July. Hold on to your hat for summer harvesting and weeding.
