Buckeye Lake


The harvest at Buckeye Lake is winding down for the season. We're getting a few tomatoes, but many aren't being picked regularly. It appears that perhaps some birds are snacking on the tomatoes? We've seen slugs on the tomatoes and many of the tomatoes are laying directly on the ground. Next year, we'll need to do a better job of staking the tomatoes, watering and harvesting.


One of the coolest things is the seed pods that have formed on the broccoli. We've let the broccoli continue to grow and even flower. Sorry the picture didn't turn out, but perhaps next week we'll have a picture. Many of the kids are mentioning how good the "green beans" are, but they seem to take a little like broccoli. This is the first time I've seen broccoli seeds.
