I planted onions last spring in 1/3 of this bed and harvested them early summer. Last month I noticed this small cluster popping up after clearing out the remaining spent tomato and pepper plants. They are loving these cooler temps and extra moisture.
Here’s what else is still going strong in the veggie garden this month. From upper left-right across: ‘Black Seeded Simpson’ lettuce, ‘Celebrity’ tomatoes, bellpeppers, ‘Purple Podded’ bean seedling and ‘Roma’ tomatoes. I’ve cleared out most of the summer veggie crop but these few plants are still lingering on a bit. I’m harvesting what I can for the moment. The bean seedling probably won’t do much beyond this but I’ll leave it for now. If anything the roots will add some much needed nitrogen back into the soil.
