out of the garden

I pulled the amaranth. Don't think the seed will ripen the way it was lying flat on the ground, and can't put it in an arrangement because it's all collapsed. So it got fed to the compost pile. I'll try it again next year.

Sometimes now I like to sit under the deck facing out into the garden. View of the leeks, just behind them turtlehead- which I had to trim back a bit, it was starting to shade out part of that garden bed.

The greens- leaf beet chard and collards- looking better now I've reduced some of the pest insect population.

Carrots, in front of marigolds.

I pulled turnips today

and cleaned out all the foliage sickly from insect attack, so the bed looks very sparse now

but what is left, has healthier-looking leaves
