Sunday in the garden...

I was tending to the Tomatoes this afternoon and panicked when I found a small green tomato that was half rotten. I'm so worried about Late Blight that I immediately thought the worst until I realized it was just a case of Blossom End Rot, which is not unusual in the weather conditions we have been having this season. Seems to be the only tomato that is suffering. I checked out all of the plants and couldn't find any other cases of any rotting fruit. I'm crossing my fingers keeping a careful watch.

I've been meaning to get some Fall season crops started and finally had some time today. I sowed some Arugula and Baby Bok Choi seeds in some small clay pots. I'll transfer these in early September after I harvest the carrots and beets in the new raised beds...



The Carrots seems to be doing well, but I know if they got more direct sun they would be much bigger...



The Beets don't seem to be as adversely affected by the lack of all day sun...

I'm harvesting beetroot at the moment and in the past have always pickled it, however, I've tried it roasted and it's delicious. No more pickling for me!
