Mid-Summer Harvest and How I Jinxed My Garden

I should have known better! Just last week I was telling a friend that my garden had been "pest-and-critter-free" this year. I was even gloating a little. As soon as I said it I worried that I had jinxed it…and boy, did I ever! 

Last Wednesday, as I planted more cilantro (I can never have enough), admired how well my lettuce looked, and nibbled on the best strawberry crop I've ever had, I was thinking I shouldn't have bragged about how well everything was doing. 

I was right..karma got me--and got me good. By Thursday morning my cilantro was mowed down to stubs and my lettuce all but disappeared. 

In fact, right now, as I write this, I see squirrels scampering and sunbathing on my hillside, no doubt working their way up to my garden for lunch. I see the rabbits in my neighbors yard--they must know the lettuce is all gone here.

So once again, I battle the forces of nature, but in spite of all that I was able to harvest their least favorite veggies. But that's okay, they're some of my favorites!

For some reason, root vegetable do better--maybe because it's more work to dig them up than it is to just graze on the greens. These are "rainbow" radishes.

I can't wait to blister and salt these shishitos. This is the first time I've produced enough--but I started with 6 plants.

Once I noticed the tomatoes were disappearing I quickly picked all that were ripe or nearly ripe.

 My first success with shallots. Now I'll let them dry a bit.

I've had the sweetest onions this year. I slice them and use them on BBQ'd chicken with a squeeze of lemon or lime at the end.

I grew this Romaine on the front deck which is fenced in and protected. But I harvested it yesterday in case the critters get smart and hop the fence. 

I can't wait for the corn! Oh, I forgot to mention…the critters actually ate the baby cobs in the unfenced garden!

Shishito peppers and strawberry-less strawberries.

 I love seeing the geckos-friends of the garden.

Another baby cantaloupe. The last two had so much flavor--nothing like you get in the market.

 So far, only one tiny artichoke, but I'm hopeful.

When I'm done working in the garden and take a last look at it, I can't wait to sit down to a great dinner. After one bite into a big, juicy tomato or a crisp hot radish, I know it's worth all the battles with the squirrels and rabbits to maintain an organic garden. I won't mention the tomato worms--no more jinxes!
