In our mid-July garden check-in, we talk about what’s new in our garden.

Currants

  • The currant and gooseberry harvest

  • How to use currants

  • Did you know that red and black currants are pruned differently?

Rhubarb

  • Looking for a delicious rhubarb recipe? Emma shares her favourite

Carrots

  • Sharing our failures…we stressed out one of our carrot patches so badly that the carrot plants went to seed. Oops. Carrots have a 2-year life cycle—when they go to seed in the first year, that’s a sign they could use a bit more TLC

Beefsteak Tomato Harvest

  • The tomato harvest is coming along nicely, after some worry about blossom end rot

Fig Q+A

  • Why are my fig leaves drooping?

  • What’s going on with my fig leaves?

  • How do I make my fig into a bush?
